Epilog Mini 24

Overview

The Epilog laser is a cutting and engraving machine. You can work with various materials such as wood, acrylic glass or cardboard. You will need to prepare a vector graphics file in the shape you want to cut and/or engrave. The machine can take material sized up to 60 by 30 centimeters. Any vector design file needs exported to PDF file format. The machine does not cut metal, though it can engrave certain coated metals.
