Monport, a developer of laser engraving and cutting technology, has introduced its Mobility Protrude series.

This series of compact carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser engravers reportedly offers comparable performance to standard CO₂ models, but the physical dimensions are very different. While traditional CO₂ laser engravers boast a physical size commensurate with their tube length, the Mobility Protrude line packs the same power as their larger counterparts but are engineered for maximum efficiency in a smaller footprint.

According to its developers, the Mobility Protrude line features four-way pass-through functionality, accommodating materials up to 4 inches thick. From front to back, users can slide materials up to 32.3 inches wide through the window, enabling engraving dimensions of up to 24 inches x 16 inches. The side-to-side opening of 20.5 inches maintains consistent engraving size, allowing for the customization of large cutting boards, acrylic panels, or oversized plywood signs.

With cutting and engraving speeds of up to 800 mm/s, the Mobility Protrude line offers unparalleled performance within a compact form factor. And for those requiring even larger project capacities, Monport offers a comprehensive range of CO₂ laser engravers, including models with beds up to 55 inches x 35 inches.

Further, the 80 W Mobility Protrude model, for example, features an 80 W tube like that found in larger 36 inch x 24 inch lasers. With a 24 inch x 16 inch bed and a price of just $2,799, the Mobility Protrude laser occupies a mere 44 inch width, a significant reduction from the 57 inch footprint of its full-size 80 W counterpart.
