FLUX beamo Laser Cutter
The FLUX beamo 30W Desktop CO2 Laser Cutter is the world's smallest 30W CO2 laser cutter, bringing full laser cutting and engraving capability to a footprint about the size of four letter-sized (A4) sheets. Measuring 24.21" x 17.52" x 6.97" (61.5 x 44.5 x 17.7 cm) and weighing 48.50 lbs (22 kg), the beamo houses a 30W CO2 laser tube operating at a 10,640 nm wavelength — a wavelength suited to cutting all colors of acrylic along with wood, leather, rubber, stone, glass, food items, and other non-metal materials.
It cuts material up to 0.30" (7.6 mm) thick depending on material, with thicker pieces possible by slowing the speed or running multiple passes, and it engraves anodized aluminum directly and stainless steel with the use of Cermark or Brilliance marking spray. The beamo is an FDA Class 1 laser product compliant with IEC 60825-1 and OSHA standards, with built-in safety features including open-lid detection and emergency shutdown.
Precision workflow tools set the beamo apart from other entry-level lasers. A built-in camera provides an 11.81" x 7.68" (30 x 19.5 cm) preview of the 11.81" x 8.27" (30 x 21 cm) work area, letting users position designs directly on the material before cutting, and the machine delivers 1000 DPI high-resolution engraving at speeds from 0.04 to 11.81 in/s (1 to 300 mm/s). An onboard touch panel starts, pauses, and stops jobs and monitors machine status, and the beamo operates independently once a file is uploaded — users can disconnect their computer mid-job, import files from a USB drive, or rerun tasks from the recent task list on the panel.
The beamo runs on FLUX's free Beam Studio software, which works across desktop, tablet, and mobile, and connects via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or direct network cable for offline operation. It accepts JPG, PNG, SVG, DXF, AI, and PDF files, and it is also compatible with LightBurn using an additional bridge cable, giving experienced users access to the industry-standard laser workflow. For makers, small businesses, educators, and home studios, the FLUX beamo packs professional CO2 laser capability into the smallest desktop form factor available.
