The Fusion Maker 36 Laser may be a starter, but right out of the box you’ll be experiencing professional level results.
Wattage Options
Higher wattage's allow you to run the laser at higher speeds to engrave to the same depth on materials, and you can also cut through thicker materials in a single pass. The Fusion Maker is available with 40 and 50-watt laser options. If a machine with your desired wattage is not currently in stock, you can order one through your distributor.
Do I need the Exhaust and/or Filtration System Accessory?
All lasers need to either exhaust to the outside or use an internal filtration unit to clean the air of dust and debris, so you can either use a filtration or exhaust unit listed above, or source one on your own. The Fusion Maker laser requires an exhaust fan that is rated at a minimum of 350 CFM for external exhaust. Factors such as length and type of tubing from the Epilog laser to the exhaust fan and from the exhaust fan to the outside of the building can produce significant losses on the true amount of air that is drawn from the Epilog laser. The Portable Exhaust Unit will require metal ducting leading to and from the laser system and exhaust fan. It attaches to a 4" exhaust port on the back of the laser system.
Recommended dust collector: 1.5HP DC3 Portable Dust Collector Motor Blower (no bag or hose) at Penn State Industries
Recommended filter unit: Filtrabox Compact X Fume Extractor | Filtrabox.com
Shipping
All machinery is shipped in 1-2 weeks with a lift gate.
Training
Online training is included with the system through the Epilog Laser Training Suite that walks you through setting up your system, basic laser design concepts, and maintenance tips and tricks. For in-person training, please contact the distributor in your area to purchase additional training packages.
Is additional cooling required?
No, we use air-cooled CO2 lasers, so no additional cooling is required. The use of the metal/ceramic laser design allows us to fire the laser at higher speeds than other technology and provides a longer life on the tube before recharging is needed.
How do I get support?
Epilog's lasers come with a 2-year warranty that covers all parts of the system, including the laser tube. If you have an issue with your system, you'll call our Technical Support department, and they will help to diagnose the problem and ship the parts out to you. The machines are designed so they can be repaired easily by you, and the easy, step-by-step video instructions on the Training Suite walk you through replacement of many parts of the machine. Even after your warranty has expired, lifetime phone assistance is provided for the machines.
Where is the system manufactured?
We're proud to say all Epilog Lasers are designed, engineered, and built in the USA at our global headquarters in Golden, CO.

The higher the wattage, the thicker the materials you can cut through and the faster you can run the laser to get to the same engraving depth. A 30/40-watt laser source cuts up to 1/4" thick hardwoods and acrylics in a single pass.
