## Restrictions

This product incorporates a laser system. Before purchasing or using laser equipment (including modules, components, or complete machines such as laser cutters and engravers), please consider the following:

- These products are intended for professional, educational, industrial, or supervised workshop environments.
- Operators should be appropriately trained and understand laser safety practices, including enclosures, signage, PPE, and safe operating procedures where applicable.

A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10482:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10482:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

A high-grade, fully enclosed 20W diode laser cutter and engraver that bridges the gap between desktop creativity and industrial performance. Engineered as a Class-1 safety-rated machine, it provides a powerful yet accessible solution for high-precision cutting and engraving across a vast range of materials, including wood, leather, and dark acrylics.

*For a fully featured experience with the major add-ons - check out [the S1 SafetyPro Bundle](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/S1-SAFETY-PRO).*

Makers often face a trade-off between the power and versatility of open-frame lasers (but dangerous) and the safety of enclosed systems; the S1 eliminates this compromise. By integrating a high-efficiency 20W laser module within a light-tight, filtered enclosure, it allows you to bring high-output fabrication into home workshops, studios, or classrooms without the need for dedicated laser safety goggles or complex external shielding.

Constructed with a robust industrial-grade frame and high-speed linear rails, the S1 is built for repeatability and precision. Its modular ecosystem ensures long-term utility, allowing users to swap laser heads or integrate accessories like the riser base and automatic conveyor to handle projects far beyond the standard bed size.

### Core Features

- **Work with total peace of mind** thanks to the Class-1 laser safety rating and integrated flame detection system that monitors for flare-ups in real-time and automatically halts operation.
- **Achieve industrial-grade precision** without the distortion of single camera-based systems using the Twin-point Pin-point™ positioning technology, ensuring your designs align perfectly with your workpiece every time.
- **Engrave uneven and curved surfaces with ease** by utilising the Dynamic-focus 3D curve engraving system, which maps material topography to maintain a consistent focal height across organic shapes.
- **Maximise your productivity** with a blistering 600mm/s maximum engraving speed, allowing you to move from prototype to finished product significantly faster than entry-level hobbyist machines.
- **Maintain a clean and safe workspace** using the high-efficiency internal fan and high-volume air assist, which pushes smoke and debris away from the cut line for cleaner edges and reduced lens maintenance.
- **Future-proof your workshop** with a modular design that supports interchangeable laser modules (such as the 1064nm Infrared head) and seamless integration with official OEM accessories like the RA2 Pro rotary tool.
