Early 2018 we received a brand-new Laser Cutter from a US company called “GlowForge”.
Intended as a hobby however friends & family quickly took interest and as a result, we started to receive requests.
In association with our original company "designsyours.co.uk" we decided to start advertising our Laser Cutting skills and services under the brand “GARARUNE”
A Lazer What!
A lot of our friends have said “A Laser What?” so I think it would be good to actually explain.
In simple terms it cancut, score or engrave sheet materials.It’s very similar to a printer (well a plotter) however instead of writing onto paper it uses a laser to burn/cut into the material.
What we cut
We prefer to cut sheets that are 2mm, 3mm or 4mm thick however you can cut thicker sheets but with difficulty. Instead cutting multiple layers and gluing them together works better.
Cutting area can go up to496mm x 279mm (19.5in x 11in)When you need bigger then you can simply build joins into the design. We mainly use birch wood, mdf or acrylic for most of our products however we also have worked on many other materials.
Where we are
We are based in Kent in the UK and plan to mainly targeting individuals in the same area.
However are happy to provide services anywhere in the UK and around the world
What we make
We have been mainly asked to make simple cut designs such as:
Badges, Medals, Buttons & Keyringshowever it’s very easy to make much more complex products such as:
Boxes, Cases, Wallets, Coin Holders, Picture Frames, Etc…
Cost model
Cost is based on a combination of elements. For example:
Material Cost, Cutting Time, Packaging/Shipping, LabourAnd then further calculated based on time & effort involved for Desigining, packaging, etc...
