Bring Industrial-Grade Precision to Your Desktop
Whether you are equipping a high school CTE (Career and Technical Education) lab, a university engineering space, or an advanced fabrication training facility, The Blade by San Antonio Laser is the ultimate gateway to professional-grade laser craftsmanship.
Unlike restrictive, cabinet-style hobby lasers, The Blade features a unique, heavy-duty open-style desktop design. This allows students and instructors to seamlessly work with larger, unconventional objects without being limited by an enclosed box. Engineered for durability, high precision, and safety, it bridges the gap between introductory design software and light industrial manufacturing.
Key Performance Features
-
Open-Bed Desktop Versatility
The flatbed workspace eliminates the size constraints of standard cabinet enclosures, making it simple to engrave or cut large wood panels, signage, custom parts, and oversized materials.
-
Built-In Fiber Optic Crush Protection
Designed specifically with busy educational and training facilities in mind, The Blade features active protection that prevents accidental kinking or crushing of vital fiber cabling when the unit is positioned close to classroom or shop walls.
-
Heavy-Duty 3-Jaw Rotary Axis Included
No hidden upgrade fees. The system comes standard with an industrial 3-jaw rotary attachment featuring both inside and outside grabbing jaws, allowing trainees to easily fixture and engrave cylindrical items like custom tumblers, pipes, and rounds.
-
Comprehensive Video Training Curriculum
Includes over 90 minutes of specialized video training modules covering unboxing, setup, optics calibration, and advanced troubleshooting techniques so instructors can easily integrate the system into their curriculum.
Safety First for Educational Environments
The Blade is built to commercial manufacturing standards, requiring proper workplace safety protocols that provide students with authentic industry experience.
- Class 1 Laser Safety Compliance: Built to meet strict OSHA and industrial safety parameters. A Class 1 laser designation means the equipment is completely enclosed and safe to operate under normal conditions.
- Class 4 Laser Safety Compliance: Converts a Class 1 laser system into a Class 4 system enabling processing of oversized or irregularly shaped materials.
-
Protective Eye Gear Included: Every system ships with a pair of professional 1064nm-rated laser safety glasses to ensure total operator protection during active firing.
- Built in Fire Suppression
