Full Spectrum Laser offers the best hobby laser systems on the market, presenting two choices with our Hobby Series and Muse Laser Systems. Which one is perfect for your needs depends on what features you find most advantageous to your projects or small business.
Muse is the premiere hobby laser of its class. A solid metal casing protects high-quality components in a sleek design that is compact and durable. Backed by five generations of engineering excellence, Muse packs the latest innovations and advancements in laser technology. A built-in camera makes material alignment easier than ever, while our patented removable floor allows for engraving material too large to fit in the workbed. The LCD touchscreen offers time-saving features such as easy access to the browser-based RetinaEngrave v3.0 laser control and design software. It all combines into the best hobby laser you can buy.
Hobby Series offers the most affordable hobby laser on the market, while still boasting a metal casing surrounding high-quality components. While it lacks some of the features of Muse, such as the camera, it comes at a price that opens laser engraving to the masses. Best of all, Hobby Series has a long track record of reliability and longevity, so you know your machine will be going strong for years.
