Cool Crowdfuning: Handheld Laser Engraving, 3D Scanners, and Multi-Material Upgrades

We receive so many pitches for crowdfunding projects. They pour into our inbox daily. Since crowdfunding is a bit of a gamble, it is always kind of hard to determine just how to write about these projects, considering that many of them may not ever deliver. Cool Crowdfunding is our way of sharing some of the ones that catch our eye. 

Remember, some of the crowdfunding projects from our previous Cool Crowdfunding collections may still be active! Go back and check them out to see if there’s anything you shouldn’t miss.

I’ve always thought that having a portable laser engraving system that can safely engrave on surfaces that won’t fit in a normal system would be great. just please, please, wear eye protection folks.
