¶ About the Swift
The AtomStack Swift is an open-frame desktop laser engraver with a 300 × 300 mm working area, offered with a 7W or a 12W blue diode laser. It is the entry point of the AtomStack range: small enough for a desk, with a laser that cuts 4 mm plywood (7W) or 7 mm plywood (12W) in a single pass at 100% power.
The Swift engraves wood, plywood, leather, paper and acrylic, and can mark some metals such as black anodized aluminum, stainless steel and galvanized iron; a compatible 1.8W infrared module extends metal engraving to most metals. Cutting metal is not recommended. The machine grows with your projects: an extension kit enlarges the working area to 300 × 600 mm, the R6 or R8 rotary attachment handles cups and tumblers, and a dedicated air assist, the F2N honeycomb panel (350 × 350 mm), the FB2 enclosure and the D3 purifier are all available.
Use AtomStack Studio, the AtomStack app or LightBurn to run it. A wired connection is recommended; Wi-Fi requires the AtomStack Studio beta. LaserGRBL is not recommended because it does not reliably support the 460800 baud rate. Because the Swift is an open-frame machine, wear laser safety goggles and use an enclosure for smoke control.
Who it suits: first-time laser users and hobbyists who want a low-cost machine for engraving and light cutting, with room to expand.
