Whichever Glowforge model you choose, you can be sure your Glowforge will be easy to set up and use, and will allow you to work with hundreds of materials. It comes will free printing software, everything you need to get started, and a free supply of premium materials to get you started. But there are some differences between our three models.

Not sure which model is right for you?

The Glowforge Basic is our introductory model, perfect for moderate home use.
The Glowforge Plus is a great solution for people who want to print frequently and quickly.
The Glowforge Pro is our most powerful and capable model, ideal for a small business, or when more than one person will be using it.

Here are a few more details to help you decide:

Speed (Pro is fastest): The Glowforge Pro top engraving speed is 3x as fast as the Glowforge Basic, and cutting is 1.2x as fast. The Glowforge Plus top engraving speed is 2x as fast as the Glowforge Basic.
Warranty (Plus and Pro have 12 months): The Glowforge Basic has 6 months of warranty coverage, while the Plus and Pro offer a double warranty of a full 12 months warranty.
Material Size (Pro has Passthrough): All Glowforge printers can accommodate materials measuring up to 18” deep, 20.4” wide, and 2” tall. The maximum printable area is about 11 x 19.5”. The Glowforge Pro allows you to make enormous oversized prints. The Pro Passthrough slot in the front and back allows for materials that are 20” wide, up to ¼” thick, and as long as you want. That means you can create huge, dramatic products like furniture. To use the passthrough, you print the first 10 inches (25.4 cm), then slide the material through the slot, and repeat.
Laser Class: The Plus and Basic models are a Class 1 laser (like a DVD player). The Passthrough slot makes the Pro model a Class 4 laser which requires the person using it to have laser safety training (included with your purchase). You should not use the Pro in public or around kids without installing Pro Shields, which are included with your purchase.
Temperatures (Pro prints up to 81°F (27°C)): The Pro is designed for printing all day in temperatures up to 81°F (27°C). The Basic and Plus will pause periodically to cool if used continually in warm temperatures; they’re designed for environments up to 75°F (24°C).

Technology. The Glowforge Plus has an upgraded linear system to support faster motor speeds. The Glowforge Pro adds a solid state cooling unit and an upgraded 45 watt laser for the fastest possible prints.

3D printing is one of the most promising areas of technological development in the 21st century. Having gone a long way from bulky and heavy boxes to compact desktop devices, 3D printers have ceased to be something inaccessible to a wide range of users. The era of mass additive manufacturing has already arrived, and every home can now house a real desktop factory.

You can buy a 3D printer capable of printing small models and prototyping of medium complexity today at the price of an entry-level laptop. The price of PLA or ABS plastic, which acts as a consumable, also no longer seems exorbitant. In a word, if you have long dreamed of getting to know the world of 3D printing and joining the ranks of makers, the right moment has come!

To save you time and make it easier to select equipment, we have collected in one section all desktop 3D printers optimized for home and office use. These are the real "workhorses" with the perfect balance of functionality, quality and price. Even a beginner can understand the settings, mount and calibrate a 3D printer, and as he gains experience, he will be able to print more and more complex three-dimensional models.

The world's first printed five-storey building and villa

As early as March 29, 2014, ten printed houses, each with an area of 200 square meters, appeared in Shanghai. The buildings were created from concrete using giant construction 3D printers. The cost of each house was $4800.

On January 18, 10 months after the first project, Shanghai WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co announced that they have taken 3D printing to a whole new level: they built the world's tallest 3D printed building, a 5-story residential building, and printed the first villa in the world. The area of the villa is 1100 square meters and is rented with internal and external finishing.

In 12 years of operation, WinSun has registered 98 national patents for building materials. The company started its innovative path in construction back in 2004, when it developed a 3D nozzle for automatic supply and spraying of building materials, and in 2008 the first wall was printed.

More than 300 representatives of construction and investment companies gathered at the press conference. WinSun's CEO said the company's success is due to the uniqueness of the presented method. Firstly, an exclusive building material, which is a mixture of recycled construction waste, fiberglass, steel, cement and special additives. Secondly, the construction 3D printer itself is 6.6 meters high, 10 meters wide and 150 meters long. Such dimensions make it possible to increase the efficiency of construction by 10 times.

The company believes that thanks to 3D printing technology, it is possible to save up to 60% of materials and reduce construction time by 50-70% while reducing labor costs by 50-80%. In the future, the company plans to build bridges and high-rise office buildings using a 3D printer.

Presented today, the villa was designed for the Taiwanese company Tomson Group, the largest real estate agent in Taiwan, and the total construction costs amounted to $161,000 and there are already 10 pre-orders.

The director of the company hopes that with their 3D technology they will be able to undermine the usual picture of a construction site where noise and dirt reign. The new construction method is more compact and efficient.

The villa and the five-story house, which were printed by a giant 3D printer, comply with local construction standards, while the company notes that in addition to developing the method itself, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive work to introduce new standards, taking into account modern realities.

The presentation also featured a one-story house, an order for which was placed by the Egyptian government. The house was printed in one day and is part of an overall production plan for 20,000 units.

Today's display site also featured a one-story house pre-ordered by the Egyptian government, which will soon be shipped to Egypt. As Ma explained, "This house was printed in one day, and is part of a total order of 20,000 units. "

WinSun announced the start of cooperation with the Egyptian company Nile Sand Material Technology Co. Ltd. Within two years, the companies together plan to set up 12 factories in the desert. Solutions are currently being sought for the use of sand for printing. Already, they have discovered that sand is great for creating walls that prevent the spread of the desert.

Contracts have also been signed with Winsun Global, a joint venture between American and Chinese companies. Over the next three years, factories will be established in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Morocco, Tunisia and the United States, as well as in more than 20 countries. In particular, the program is aimed at developing the countries of the Middle East and Africa - providing low-income people with cheap housing. The first batch of 3D printers is ready to ship.

Finally, Winsun announced a joint venture with China Railway 24th Bureau Group. Construction of 5 factories in Shanghai, a high-tech park in Hebei and Heilongjian provinces, as well as in Mexico and Russia.
