Since the launch of Lasergist users always wanted this. Now we are ultra-happy to eventually make the Lasergist Marketplace! And as always, we are making this based on user requests. Have an idea? Just shoot!

Great news everybody! You asked for a quick-to-order sample; we just made a cool christmas-special sample available for immediate dispatch! check it out:
http://lasergist.com/ and click on "get a sample"!
Thank you very much for this recommendation. At the moment we're only doing stainless steel, as this is the main material we focus on, have developed finishing techniques and in general, this is the material we are most experienced in. I can easily see jewellery being made of Stainless Steel though. Just drop as a line at
[email protected] - maybe we can discuss on the jewellery market!
noted - I see that another user too asks for more technical details so we'll add those on the website directly.
Bulk work still goes through more traditional channels - like inquiring/quoting etc. The actual limitations are 1500mm x 3000mm ;)
100% agree with you. It's exactly like that.
hmmm.. What? Are you sure you visited the right website? We specifically avoid needing to subscribe/register etc....
yes - and add the margins that have to be left, I believe it's too complex to be still easy to use. But it's something that's worth exploring.
We are totally in! Totally irrelevant maybe but SVG is a great file format for this. Food for thought i guess..
too technical detail I think but anyway, yes it is compensated on our side!
Of course we are talking about all of our lasers combined!!
Actually we already provide laser engraving as an option!
Bending is something another member mentioned a few minutes ago. This is an option for custom orders but I'm not sure that it can be "streamlined" in a relatively bug-less process - at least for a consumer client.
Maybe a few stencil fonts would do the job but common fonts wouldn't work because of letters like R, P, etc. Noted however, sounds like a cool addition.
I'm not really sure (have 0 knowledge on lock picks) but if those are flat 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 3 mm thick, then why not?!
I'd say that yes. I don't think that the christmas post congestion would affect it if ordered soon.
Really, you are hired! There is a massive CNC bender at the shop (for custom orders). Do you think we should "onlinify" it too? (is that even a word?)
Yeap - i noticed that I didn't reply like 10 min ago.
The tolerances based on the laser specs are 0.01mm. It is in essence extremely precise. Regarding the surface quality I think that a few photos would be the greatest way to showcase it. What is important to understand is that we are providing industrial level parts + quality, but we do this through a process that is easy for designers, engineers and people unfamiliar with laser cutting. Definitely not just "decorative"..
Just noticed there is a 5, a 6 and a 7!!
5. The micro drone on discover page is just 2" x 2" you probably see it 2x on your screen! But this is a nice tip from a marketing point of view.
6. 0.01mm is the laser spec!
7. You must be the largest fan of one-page designs! Lasergist.com has just 3 pages - but i can understand what you mean!
additionally, I personally believe that what you say is absolutely correct. From a manufacturer's point of view, costs can be low. It's demand + optimisation that keeps them low.
In case you are looking for a job, you're hired! haha.. Remarkable comment....
PCB stencil service is something we'll have to try out with the engraving machines - the laser cutters are too powerful for such thin sheets. The max. standard dimensions might be soon changed. (we can already provide larger parts in custom applications)
In fact, there is a media query checking for this and changing the font weight to 300. Actually it makes it 100 for retina screens. It's tested and works in several devices - let's check if there is any error in loading the 300 font weight from google fonts though - thanks for the tip.
Your comment on examples is very correct and we've been advised at least 3 more times here; we are definitely doing this soon! Thank you again for your comments.
haha! Definitely feel you! Thanks for the heads up - changed :)
Noted and 100% agree with you. We'd go for Comodo most probably but we'll have a look at cloudflare too!
Do you mean having some ready samples that you can order or just plain pics? This is already on its way to be done quickly. Thanks for your comment.
Understood and well noted. If i'm not mistaken though, those services have their own software and some very specific guidelines to follow.
we double check the input data. Totally different to confirm than to wait for a quote.
