Here’s everything you need to know about our Performance and Craft Laser Series.

What’s the difference between the Series?

The Glowforge Performance Series includes our fastest, most powerful lasers. They’re the #1 choice by folks who want to boost their business with laser-made goods or add an innovative tool to their classrooms

The Glowforge Craft Laser Series are the lasers for everyone! They’re the easiest way to take your crafting game to the next level: one machine gives you endless creative possibilities.

Who are they for?

The Performance Series lets you explore new methods, new materials, new money-making possibilities, new classroom projects, or new ways to connect with the people around you.

The Craft Laser Series lets you upgrade from your blade cutter for more freedom, flexibility, and creative possibility from just one machine.

Which lasers are which?

There are 4 Performance lasers to choose from: Glowforge Plus, Glowforge Pro, Glowforge Plus HD, and Glowforge Pro HD. You can learn more about them here.

There are 2 Craft Lasers to choose from: Glowforge Spark and Glowforge Aura. You can learn more about them here.

What can I make?

Glowforge Performance Lasers are powerful enough to cut, engrave and score hundreds of materials, including glass and clear acrylic, in ultra-precise detail. They have the largest printer beds at 19.5 x 12” — you can even make infinitely long projects with Glowforge Pro and Pro HD’s Passthrough slot.

Glowforge Craft Lasers let you skip the blades, cutting mats, and weeding. A precise beam of light laser cuts, engraves, and scores thicker materials like plywood, leather, or acrylic in a printer bed up to 12” x 12” (or infinitely long with Glowforge Aura’s passthrough slot).
