When it comes to laser cutting machines, the first thing that comes to mind may be those large machines with more than 10,000 watts.
However, with the increasing requirements for part precision in the machinery manufacturing industry and the emergence of maker organizations, more and more small businesses and studios are seeking solutions that can meet high-precision requirements without occupying excessive space. Therefore, we launched a compact laser cutting machine that can be easily placed on a desktop.
This desktop laser cutter, developed by HANTENCNC, integrates industrial-grade excellent performance into a compact body design, making it a more efficient and flexible metal cutting tool.
It is suitable for cutting thin metal sheets.
It is specially designed for individual makers, small workshops, educational labs, and light manufacturing.

Standard Working Area:
300 mm × 200 mm
Front-and-Rear Pass-Through Design
This desktop laser cutter features a pass-through structure, allowing materials to enter from the front and exit from the rear.
That means the cutting width is fixed (e.g., 300 mm), but material length is unlimited.
This design makes it ideal for processing oversized or continuous materials.
It is compatible with roll feeders or automation systems for continuous production.
Real-Time Cutting View via Movable CCD Screen Display
This desktop laser cutter features a movable CCD screen display, providing real-time video of the cutting area.
A high-resolution CCD camera captures the cutting zone in real time.
The wired, detachable screen comes with a 10-meter cable, allowing flexible placement near the operator.
It enables users to observe fine cutting details without opening the safety enclosure, enhancing both precision and operator safety.
It is ideal for monitoring delicate cuts, ensuring material stability, and preventing unexpected errors during processing.
The CCD display screen significantly enhances operational visibility, especially in enclosed setups or remote-use environments.
Three-Color Indicator Light (Status Beacon)
A built-in tri-color indicator light provides clear and intuitive status feedback:
🔴 Red – Alarm/Error: Machine stopped due to fault or safety condition (e.g., door opened).
🟡 Yellow – In Operation: Laser cutting or movement is in progress.
🟢 Green – Standby/Ready: Machine is powered on and ready to work.
This system allows operators and supervisors to monitor machine status from a distance, ensuring safe, efficient, and visually accessible operation at all times.
