ARTILUME U1 Laser Engraver
Choose the 1W IR for compatible metal surface marking, 3W for light and detail-focused work, 7W for everyday engraving versatility, or 12W for more cutting capability on suitable materials. The right option depends on your primary projects.
For many uncoated metal-marking applications, choose the optional 1W IR module. Diode modules are more suitable for selected coated, painted, or treated surfaces. Always check the metal and test settings first.
Yes. LightBurn supports Windows and macOS workflows, while LaserGRBL is for Windows. Check software licensing, supported firmware, and setup instructions before connecting.
Yes! The Artilume U1 supports wireless control through the CutLabX mobile app. Simply connect your U1 via Wi-Fi to design, customize, and manage engraving projects right from your phone.
Round-item engraving requires a compatible rotary roller and enough clearance for the object.
Material suitability varies by module. Common project materials include wood, paper, leather, suitable coated surfaces, stone, selected acrylic, and compatible metals with IR marking. Never laser unknown plastics, PVC, or vinyl; fumes may be hazardous.
The U1 is designed for a straightforward desktop setup, but you'll still need to follow the manual, confirm laser focus, connect supported software, and prepare a properly ventilated work area before your first job.
