FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

minutes to get their printer out of the box, plug it in, set it up, and finish
their first print!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How precise is the Glowforge laser?

Glowforge uses a beam of light the width of a human hair to cut and engrave with
incredible accuracy within a thousandth of an inch. Further, your Glowforge can
engrave images in stunning high-resolution - comparable to what you see on your
phone or computer screen now. You can learn more, here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What materials can Glowforge cut or engrave?

Glowforge opens up a world of materials. While traditional 3D printers are

hundreds of beautiful materials like leather, acrylic, hardwood, fabric - even
chocolate! Glowforge can cut wood, fabric, leather, paper, Plexiglas (acrylic),
Delrin (acetal), mylar, rubber, Corian, foods, and more. Glowforge can also

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which Glowforge is best for me?

Whichever Glowforge model you choose, you can be sure your Glowforge will be
easy to set up and use, and will allow you to work with hundreds of materials.
It comes will free printing software, everything you need to get started, and a
free supply of premium materials to get you started. But there are some
differences between our three models.

Not sure which model is right for you?

 * The Glowforge Basic is our introductory model, perfect for moderate home use.
 * The Glowforge Plus is a great solution for people who want to print
   frequently and quickly.
 * The Glowforge Pro is our most powerful and capable model, ideal for a small
   business, or when more than one person will be using it.

Here are a few more details to help you decide:

 * Speed (Pro is fastest): The Glowforge Pro top engraving speed is 3x as fast
   as the Glowforge Basic, and cutting is 1.2x as fast. The Glowforge Plus top
   engraving speed is 2x as fast as the Glowforge Basic.

 * Warranty (Plus and Pro have 12 months): The Glowforge Basic has 6 months of
   warranty coverage, while the Plus and Pro offer a double warranty of a full
   12 months warranty.

 * Material Size (Pro has Passthrough): All Glowforge printers can accommodate
   materials measuring up to 18” deep, 20.4” wide, and 2” tall. The maximum
   printable area is about 11 x 19.5”. The Glowforge Pro allows you to make
   enormous oversized prints. The Pro Passthrough slot in the front and back
   allows for materials that are 20” wide, up to ¼” thick, and as long as you
   want. That means you can create huge, dramatic products like furniture. To
   use the passthrough, you print the first 10 inches (25.4 cm), then slide the
   material through the slot, and repeat.

 * Laser Class: The Plus and Basic models are a Class 1 laser (like a DVD
   player). The Passthrough slot makes the Pro model a Class 4 laser which
   requires the person using it to have laser safety training (included with
   your purchase). You should not use the Pro in public or around kids without
   installing Pro Shields, which are included with your purchase.

 * Temperatures (Pro prints up to 81°F (27°C)): The Pro is designed for printing
   all day in temperatures up to 81°F (27°C). The Basic and Plus will pause
   periodically to cool if used continually in warm temperatures; they’re
   designed for environments up to 75°F (24°C).

Technology. The Glowforge Plus has an upgraded linear system to support faster
motor speeds. The Glowforge Pro adds a solid state cooling unit and an upgraded
45 watt laser for the fastest possible prints.
