What is it?
The Mr Beam Shield was developed within the
Kickstarter project "Mr Beam - a Portable Laser
Cutter and Engraver Kit" (see http://kck.st/1j4BQiz).
Beeing compatible to the grbl firmware (http://
bengler.no/grbl), it combines a laser diode driver with
up to 3 stepper motor drivers on an Arduino Uno
shield. We recommend the usage of our Mr Beam
grbl fork which is already configured to the shields
features. You can find it at https://github.com/
mrbeam .
What can I build with it?
Originally the shield was designed for the Mr Beam
laser cutter kit, but it can be used for every laser
device which uses stepper motors in the mechanics.
Besides laser cutters this can be laser sintering 3D
printers, 3D scanners, laser projectors or other
robots.
Thank you & Have fun!
