Cubiio is ready to use straight out of the box.

It’s not super fast, but it can make so many or embellish things. Below are just a few examples.

How Does It Work?
Cubiio is an aluminum-alloy cube smaller than a baseball and lighter than an iPhone 7 Plus. It consists of a semiconductor laser source and two current-driven mirrors in order to deflect the laser beam along X and Y axes. The embedded CPU translates your sketches into digital commands to tilt mirrors particularly. Then the focused laser spot will be projected to the target surface along the designed trajectory.

The makers of Cubiio have developed a special algorithm to compensate distortion successfully. This allows them to make Cubiio portable and affordable. The details of virtual lens algorithm are confidential as they await the patent.

Cubiio requires no assembly. It’s controlled wirelessly by the Cubiio App wirelessly. which you simply download from Apple Store or Google Play.

Engraving is done in 4 easy steps:
1. Choose a picture / G-Code file or write something in Cubiio App.
2. Place the item you want to engrave in front of Cubiio.
3. Preview (this allows you to easily adjust the size, position, and the rotation angle) and align.
4. Press START and enjoy.

Features:
Eye Protection: Goggles are included in every Cubiio package. Always wear goggles while Cubiio is working. Do not look at the laser radiation even with the goggles.
Password Lock: Password is required before operating every time. Only authorized persons are allowed to use Cubiio.
Lasering Indication: A bright LED indicates when the laser is energized and operating.
Motion Detection: A sensitive 3-axis accelerometer is equipped. While accidental movement happens during operating, Cubiio will shut down immediately.
Overheat Shutdown: Cubiio should work in the environment with sufficient heat dissipation. If the inner temperature approaches to the damaging threshold, Cubiio turns itself off.
CubiioShield: Safety is priceless. We offer upgraded protection for users who have higher safety standard.
