It will provide multiple project cases and detailed instructions, including digital design files, step-by-step instructions, material lists and parameter settings, and millions of digital design files for users to download. Campaign extension goals will be announced soon.
"Our goal is to create a powerful tool for everyone; a possibility to bring users more material choices and unleash their creativity," Wang continued. "Thanks to the Kickstarter community, we can bring hybrid laser and blade power to the public at an affordable price."
