Creative types, rejoice! Xiaomi recently unveiled an exciting new entrant in their Mijia smart home ecosystem – the Mijia Laser Engraver. Slated to launch via crowdfunding from December 20th-27th at an affordable 1,399 yuan ($200), this laser etching gadget enables customized engraving for an array of materials.
Touting a 3-watt 450nm blue laser with dual optical lenses, the engraver can artfully mark everything from leather and wood to plastics and paper with detailed patterns, signatures, logos, and more. Beam compression technology concentrates the laser’s energy to achieve a remarkably precise 0.25mm vertical engraving spot.
Built-in Time-of-Flight sensing also automatically adjusts the engraving bracket height to accommodate objects of different thicknesses. Combined with speedy 4800mm/s galvanometer laser directing, the streamlined design makes DIY etching a cinch.
While advanced for a consumer gadget, Xiaomi stresses the laser engraver stays safe and easy to operate for hobbyists and creators, ships with recommended parameters for five common materials to aid beginners. An accompanying app lets you quickly import and position text, graphics, or freehand drawings for engraving.
Just insert your material of choice, connect to power, sync with the app and you’re ready to start laser crafting one-of-a-kind personalized pieces or batched sets. No manual calibration or messy inks required!
Between the generous etching surface, intricate laser precision, and clever quality of life automations, Xiaomi’s ambition is clear – bringing professional-grade design tools into homes for affordable DIY experimentation.
Whether looking to make custom leather goods as gifts, brand products for a startup, or simply explore a new creative hobby, Mijia Laser Engraver arms budding makers with serious laser-etched personalization potential. A crowdfunding release means units are still limited, so engraving enthusiasts should consider hopping aboard Xiaomi’s latest laser-toting launch. Because when creativity calls, the Mijia Laser Engraver answers with stunning laser-etched flair straight from your workspace!
