Glowforge is a manufacturer of 3D laser printers that offer printing services on a wide range of materials. The company's printers utilize software and sensors to cut, engrave, and shape designs from various materials, enabling users to print and decorate any materials. Glowforge has recently introduced a new product, the Glowforge Aura, which is described as the world's first craft laser, indicating an expansion of their product line. Their products are being utilized in educational settings, such as Madison College's STEM Center, suggesting an increase in market penetration and adoption of their technology in various sectors. The company's laser engravers are also being used in conjunction with other technologies for various projects, demonstrating the versatility and demand for their products.

Glowforge is a beautiful device that sits on your desk. It uses a laser to carve and engrave products from raw materials like wood, leather, acrylic – even cardboard. If you haven’t already, check out our video on glowforge.com. While you’re there, you’ll notice something amazing: Glowforge is the largest crowdfunding campaign in history.

There is an incredible demand for what we’re creating. It’s not a geeky tool for the tech elite or a garage workshop; we’re crafting an iconic product that is going to change the way people think about creativity. Our customers include consumers, digital designers, crafters, engineers, teachers, artists, and more.

After wrapping up the biggest 30 day crowdfunding campaign in history, we put together a team of incredible people who we are humbled and excited to call our co-workers. We hail from tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Apple, and top startups like Tableau, Tesla, and Evernote. One thing we have all have in common? We want to build a future where printing a wallet (or a lamp, or a birthday card, or a stunning sushi wrap) is just as easy as printing a resume.
