This is a game-changing tool for makers, creators, and small business owners — the Xlaserlab E3 UV laser engraver. This isn’t your average desktop laser. It’s a 10-watt UV laser — or, in one lower-powered variant, 7-watt — with an incredibly tiny spot size: just 0.005 mm. That gives it micron-level precision, or what Xlaserlab calls “16K engraving resolution.” Why is that so remarkable? Unlike hotter lasers, the E3 uses “cold light” — it doesn’t melt or burn your materials. I
