I tested the laser with Lightburn but don’t want to pay their license fee. Ortur recommends Lightburn as a commercial software or LaserGRBL as a free alternative. As this firmware is quite popular there are a lot of different software alternatives available. I love the fact that the Aufero is using an open source solution called GRBL as a controller. The laser arrived preassembled and nicely packaged.īefore we talk about the three different modules let’s talk about the software side first. Ortur provided me the machine for free in exchange for an honest review. Overall the possibilities are much closer to a 40W CO2 laser like the K40 but the laser is portable and quite lightweight. When Ortur asked for a review of the Aufero that I am unpacking here it caught my interest as in contrast to many other laser devices it can not only engrave but can cut many different materials. The Aufero is a mid sized, portable laser cutter and engraver that comes with three different modules that have a different power and capabilities. In this article I will review the Aufero Laser Cutter that was provided to me from Ortur.
