What is Mr Beam?

Mr Beam is a laser cutter and engraving machine. This latest model the Mr Beam II dreamcut [S], has been improved with better focus, airflow and cleaner, thinner cutting lines.

What can it do?

Mr Beam dream can cut through all sorts or materials, from wood, Textiles, Paper & Cardboard, Plastics, to Leather.

It can also engrave on Wood, Textiles, Stone, Stamping rubber, Leather, Acrylic, anodized Aluminium, Mirror backs, Paper & cardboard

How easy is setup?

It was super easy to set up, most of it is already assembled, I just had to fit the laser head, and air filter system. Then you just sync it with your wi-fi to be able to run the software, I was set up and cutting in the evening!

How much does it cost?

The Mr Beam II Dreamcut [S] & Air Filter II System Bundle which I was sent to review costs € 3.799,00 (Roughly £3,243) Which I know is expensive, especially if you’re seeing it as the next setup up from your Cricut or silhouette. But it is just that. A great big step up in terms of the potential for crafts. Plus if you wanted to start a small business this would be a great tool for that.

Value for money?

Over the last week I used my laser cutter continuously and I think given the opportunity to keep it I would still use it everyday. I have some many design ideas and SVG’s that the possibility of creating them is now in my grasp with this great machine. So cost per use, I think it’s great value.

Final thoughts

If like me, you drool over laser cutting videos on tik tok and the gram. You’ll want this is your life. Now I have experienced the creative joy of laser cutting and engraving I’ll never want to give it up.
