In addition to the LASER machine, you will need the following items:

A computer 

You will need a pc 100 MHZ Pentium with at least 16 MB of RAM (or better) with at least 16 MB of RAM, a 165 MB hard drive, one floppy disk drive, a color VGA monitor, mouse, windows (check with manufacturer for version), and windows compatible software.  A Scanner with a minimum of 300 DPI is also recommended for the generation of artwork.  As with all computer functions, more memory and more computer Power will result in faster processing speeds.


A graphic arts software package.

Most users like CorelDraw products, but there are others, as well.  Check with the manufacturer for their recommendation and also make sure your version is compatible with your computer system’s version of Windows and the drivers that come with the laser machine.

A good working Exhaust System

This will help to remove all vaporized materials to the outside. What you get will vary depending on how you will be using your system and the materials you are processing. Manufacturers typically recommend an exhaust system that will move a minimum of 235 CFM (cubic feet per minute) at 6 inches of static pressure. For top efficiency, make sure the duct work is adequate to support the type of blower and materials you will be using, and make sure that all vents and ducts remain open and free of debris.
