How to Make a Laser Module
There are lots of makers who want to customize a Snapmaker Laser Module. In this tutorial, I will be demonstrating how to make a custom Snapmaker Laser Module using 3D prints.
Laser Diode and LED Comparison
What is the difference between a laser diode and an LED? How many amps are in a laser diode driver?
Building a Laser Module
Start making your own laser. Set the voltage on your DC/DC. Add DC/DC to your PCB. Insert the copper laser module inside the heat-sink. Mount your fans to the laser housing. Final assembling.
Where to Get a Laser Diode
Laser diodes are available at Mouser Electronics from industry leading manufacturers.
Inside a Laser Module
A laser module contains laser diodes, optics, and electronic components to shape the beam. The quality of the laser beam depends on the components and design of the module.
Laser Module Components
The key components include laser diodes, optics like LASORB, and thermal stability features to ensure optimal performance.
