More serously, this machine is magic. It somehow cuts wood without charring the edges?
This is something only UV lasers can do. Their wavelength is so short, they can break molecular bonds directly without heating the material.
It really seems magical
-
@colinstu Nope, didn't smell anything. UV lasers are magic, they barely burn the material.

@Mara@hachyderm.io i beg you to bring this to rustweek 27
@amy Hmmm, tempting, but not sure how I feel about operating a class 4 laser in space with a thousand people.

@Mara science question. Does engraving the egg cook it
@arch Nope, it doesn't really heat up much of the material. UV lasers are magic.

@Mara please keep etching names of things on the things.
Egg on egg, etc.
It's nice to label things for clarity -

@Mara Seems to work on metal, is it able to cut through it as well? Does the software run on Linux?

@Mara You seem to have misspelled "awesome decision", for some reason...

I feel so powerful now, being able to inflict the wonders of Comic Sans onto every single object in my house.
@Mara i very much appreciate the Gary Larson of it all

@Mara An ex of mine worked at a laser shop at the time and made an art piece comprised of a rock etched with “art is ephemeral” and a leaf etched with “art is eternal” and I think about it a lot
