Crafty

bonne@fabcreator.com (Bonne Wilce) — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 16:41:51 GMT

Introducing the Crafty

The Crafty is our new hobby machine for all those clever crafters out there! :D
Being smaller than the FabCore makes it easier to have in the home or smaller workspaces; measuring 800x500mm and only 220mm tall!
However you still get a sizable work area of 500x300 combined with a powerful 30W (What other companies call a 40w) laser you will be able to laser cut all your hobby projects with ease :D

The Crafty comes as standard with everyone's favourite LightBurn and the LightBurn camera! Making it easy to quickly align artwork with your material.

Naturally the Crafty is a Class 1 European CE laser so you can rest easy knowing your family is safe when operating this at home.

We plan to launch the Crafty later this year so stay tuned or get in touch with us now if you would like to pre-order. Contact us

FabPro Update

FabMark Announcement

bonne@fabcreator.com (Bonne Wilce) — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 18:43:42 GMT

Sneak Peek... shhhhh ;)

Something we have wanted to make for a while now and with Lightburn now supporting the most common drivers we decided to accelerate the development of the FabMark.

The FabMark is shaping up to be a no nonsense galvo engraver. Packed with all the essentials you have come to expect from a FabCreator Laser.
Class 1, Auto focus, Motorized Z axis, optional rotary and maybe a LightBurn camera!

To start with it will be available as standard with a 20W Q switch. With options to opt for higher powers or MOPA sources. RF CO2 sources will be available in the future.

The FabMark will hopefully be available for order before the end of 2022. Stay tuned more more information.

Lasermachinesafety.eu

Laser safety, educational information for all.

We often get asked the question what is a Class 1 laser and why is this important?

Answering this question on the surface seems simple, enclose the laser and it should stop when I open the enclosure. However in reality there is a lot more going on in the background to make sure a laser cutter is safe in all foreseeable scenarios.

Considering most of the information and regulations are publicly available. We decided to create a fact based and sourced, non bias website which lays out the requirements set out by the European union.

Price increase from 1st of June

bonne@fabcreator.com (Bonne Wilce) — Mon, 10 May 2021 15:27:20 GMT

Covid and the future

It’s been a tricky time as we all navigate our way through Covid. We have been fortunate to maintain our operation with little impact besides the unavoidable logistic frustrations.

During the crisis we absorbed what we hoped would be a temporary increase in costs, however with the start of the new year it has become clear these costs are unlikely to return to their pre Covid level.

With the price of steel and aluminum on the rise amongst other key components which make a FabCreator Laser cutter we sadly have no choice but to announce a price rise from the 1 ^st of June.

Any offer made before the 1 ^st of June will continue to be honored until the 1 ^st of July.

Kind regards,
Bonne

Request an offer

bonne@fabcreator.com (Bonne Wilce) — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 17:43:25 GMT

A little web update.

Over the past year we have noticed a strong preference to receive a offer rather then shop in a online store.

To remove confusion and stream line our internal process, we have decided to retire the online store for the moment. (It will return in the future with materials and common spare parts)

Simply fill out the required information and we will send you back a digital offer you can print off, forward to colleagues and arrange approval if needed.

Once your ready you can digitally sign the offer and it will automatically convert to an invoice.

FabPro Passthrough

bonne@fabcreator.com (Bonne Wilce) — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 15:04:46 GMT

FabPro Development and testing

As a result of our move and covid 19, the development of the FabPro has slowed, however the first unit is still busy at work and recently the Passthrough feature has been used in order to make measuring tools for kids at home :)

FabKit Mk6

bonne@fabcreator.com (Bonne Wilce) — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 13:48:56 GMT

The FabKit Mk6 is almost here!

Bigger, faster and more powerful the FabKit is back :D

The new design can house a 40w or 60w CO2 laser allowing you to increase your cutting speed.

In order to house the new 1150mm 60w CO2 laser we had to increase the FabKits dimensions. The new FabKit is now 1266x816x503mm (WxDxH)
This increase in outer frame allows for a larger cutting area now 800x500x130mm.

The FabKit now makes use of 3 high speed closed loop stepper servos allowing for faster and more precise movements.

Rotary 4th axis, passthrough options remain and we have also included an indicator output for use with an external beacon, especially useful if you plan to use the passthrough feature and want a visual warning for the entrance to the room its being operated in.
Currently its only available with the Ruida with LightBurn controller as we search for a replacement for the smoothieboard v1 (which is now out of production) However we plan to offer a choice between the LightBurn solution or an opensource solution.

The machine is almost ready to be delivered, a few things left; Finishing and printing the manual, design and printing of the information and warning machine stickers. Testing and complying optimal settings for the firmware.

If you have any questions about the new FabKit contact Sales@fabcreator.com

New Community

bonne@fabcreator.com (Bonne Wilce) — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 14:51:56 GMT

Support and FabCommunity for the future

With a larger selection of FabCreator machines on offer and a growing community of makers busy creating all over europe, we have been searching for the best way to support you directly and indirectly via community forums and email tickets.

Today we launch the the community.fabcreator.com (discourse) site. Sign in with Facebook, Google or create a separate account with your email.

We hope the new site is a great place to share your creations and ask questions. It make take some time to (re)grow the community base and content, so we are planning to hold some competitions to help simulate it :D

FabPro Progress

website@sitemodify.com (Website Editor) — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 16:03:42 GMT

The first FabPro

Since the beginning of our venture we always knew we would end up with 3 classes of systems, opensource DIY kit, entry level professional and "The full works, extra large"!
Well the FabPro is shaping up to be our all the works extra large laser!
Interchangeable beds, pass though, pass under, integrated touch screen pc with lighburn, high speed servos and many more features we will introduce you to later ;)

Our first attempt at engraving with the FabPro. Although the laser tube is from our first Fab100 prototype and is over four year old, it is still able to perform great quality raster engraves even though its lost a fair few watts!

A new 100w (130peak) tube is on its way, just like our new FabCores it will also come with an integrated alignment laser.
You can find more photos of the FabPro here

Until next time,
Happy Lasering,

Bonne
