The Glowforge Aura, an affordable laser engraving and cutting machine, is a recent entry to the lineup of craft lasers. Greg and I have been Glowforge PRO owners and users for many years now. We've made many things on our Glowforge, everything from acrylic projects like the engraved plaques we showed you how to color last year as well as wood projects like this Tree of Life plaque. We've been REALLY wanting to teach you how to do laser engraving and cutting for a long time now, but we felt the price of the Glowforge Pro made it a little tough for most people. Which is why the new Glowforge Aura craft laser is so exciting — it's WAY less money than the Glowforge Pro. So many more of you will be able to get a Aura IF you want one. This video will help you decide if the Glowforge Aura is right for you!

Check out the new Glowforge Aura as we give you a first look at the new craft laser cutter and engraver, including all the cool things it can cut, how it compares to the Glowforge Pro, and three free laser cutter designs!
