Introduction

 

Driven by modern technology, laser engraving technology has gradually become a widely used process. It is not only widely used in industrial production, but also gradually penetrates into personal creation and DIY fields. With the continuous advancement of technology, portable laser engraving machines and desktop laser engraving machines have become the two mainstream choices. They each have their own characteristics and are suitable for different needs and usage scenarios. Next, we will compare these two laser engraving machines and explore their differences.

The Size and mobility

 

Portable laser engraving machines are usually designed to be small and lightweight, with excellent mobility. They are relatively small in size and usually come with a carrying bag, making them easy to carry to different places, such as Longer Nano, our new portable Laser engraving machine. This compact design makes the portable laser engraving machine an ideal choice for outdoor events, exhibition demonstrations and even outdoor creative workshops. For example, in outdoor markets, creatives can carry a portable laser engraving machine with them to make personalized souvenirs or customized gifts on-site to attract customers' attention and increase sales. In addition, schools, community organizations or studios can also choose portable laser engraving machines as teaching tools, making it easier for teachers and students to move and use them in different classrooms or venues. Furthermore, portability does not compromise on power or speed. Our Longer Nano boasts powerful 12 watt and a rapid speed of 2200mm/s, ensuring swift and efficient performance.

In contrast, desktop laser engraving machines are usually placed on a fixed desktop or workbench, and are larger in size and heavier in weight. This design is more suitable for users who need a fixed work space, such as studios, laboratories or personal studios. LONGER laser engraving machines can be used on desktops at home, such as LaserB1 series and Ray5 series, the stability and fixation of desktop-level laser engraving machines allow users to focus more on operations, obtain a better work experience, and improve work efficiency.

Material compatibility

 

Portable laser engravers often have more limited material compatibility. Due to its compact design and low-power characteristics, portable laser engraving machines are usually suitable for materials that are easier to process, such as wood, leather, paper, soft plastics,metal, etc. These materials are relatively soft and require low energy from the laser, making them suitable for processing by portable laser engraving machines.

 

Desktop laser engravers typically have wider material compatibility. Desktop-level laser engraving machines can usually replace the laser, and can select a suitable laser according to the material to be engraved, so they can process more types of materials, including some materials with higher hardness, such as metal, glass, stone, etc., as well as composite materials. The processing range and compatibility of materials can be greatly improved.

Conclusion

 

Longer Nano portable laser engraving machines is a lightweight and user-friendly personal creative tool, tailored for individual makers, DIY enthusiasts, and small studios. Nano offer portability and versatility, making them an excellent choice for beginners venturing into the realm of laser engraving. In contrast, desktop laser engraving machines like the LaserB1 and Ray5 are positioned as professional-grade creative tools, catering to users with higher standards for engraving quality, such as designers, artists, and model makers. When deciding between the two, users should carefully consider their own creative needs and application scenarios. If your activities primarily involve simple personal projects or DIY endeavors, the Longer Nano may be sufficient. However, if you demand intricate and high-quality creations, or if you have professional requirements, the Ray5 would be the preferable option for beginners. For users proficient in engraving and cutting technology, or those seeking top-notch capabilities right from the outset, the LaserB1 series emerges as the optimal choice.
