History

Since 2016, we provide digital fabrication tools to makers, artists, small workshops, and hobbyists alike. We believe in facilitating access to digital manufacturing processes with open code tools and educational content, which help many inexperienced users easily make the most out of these technologies. That’s why we have developed the OKU Desk, a powerful laser tool to transform any tabletop into your most versatile workshop.

Ready, set, make!

Easy and secure to use, OKU Desk is the ideal tool to bring many projects to life in a wide variety of materials, from wood to stainless steel. Fabricate almost anything in just a few steps.

Create or pick a pattern, a photo, a drawing, a vector image – anything you want! Just choose the size and the position in the design section of the program.

OKU Desk includes its own version of Inkscape, a free design software. You can create ambitious projects easily as well as edit files from other programs such as AutoCAD, Illustrator, CorelDraw, etc.

A Powerful Tool to Bring All Kinds of Projects to Life

You can CUT…

Paper, wood, cardboard, fabric, felt, leather, and many other organic materials. If the material is too thick to cut in a single pass, OKU Desk will go through it again until the cut is complete. The maximum cutting thickness is 20 mm.

…and ENGRAVE

Materials such as ceramics, slate, mirror, and even stainless steel or anodized aluminum without any pre-coating spray or additional chemicals. Just put your materials on the OKU Desk and let the magic happen!

And much more!

Stainless Steel? Check!

We have put our OKU Desk to the test and engraved this design on a piece of stainless steel! Just think of the possibilities for a minute…

Engrave every detail!

The OKU Desk uses industrial linear bearings to ensure the maximum precision (± 0,1 mm to be specific) on all your projects. Thanks to this you can get amazing resolution when engraving your favorite pictures onto wood, slate, or even ceramics, and get the exact same shape when cutting anything you want.

Performs as great as it looks

Enclosed in anodized aluminum, OKU Desk is engineered to last in style and performance. Discover all the features that make this tool the perfect fit for you.

• Optimized 7.5 W diode laser, equivalent to 20 W of CO2: Cuts up to 6 mm of common craft materials. Designed to withstand over 8.000 hours.
• Designed to be safe: its security sensor allows it to work only if the protective lid is properly closed.
• Industrial Linear bearings: Maximum precision for anything you’re making. Guaranteed!
• Smoke control: Adjust the power of the smoke extraction system or choose the automatic option.

Think big

OKU Desk provides you with a working area of 500×285 mm (11,2×19,6″), enough to fit your most ambitious ideas.

What You See Is What You Get

Select where to place the project, pre-visualize the image, check its dimensions, estimated printing time, and more, all from its easy-to-use touch screen!

Conveniently detachable laser cartridge

Cleaning the laser lens is essential to ensure its good performance. OKU Desk makes this process easy for you: just remove the laser cartridge, clean it, and put it back, in a snap!

The laser module is also upgradable. We designed the OKU Desk so it can be improved upon. We’ll soon release new modules. Stay tuned!

A smoke and odors-free workstation

The smoke extraction system integrated into the OKU Desk works perfectly for well-ventilated rooms. We also recommend our add-on air filter system as a solution to stay safe from harmful fumes produced by some materials when burned with a laser.

Your safety is our top priority

OKU Desk complies with all the regulatory standards so you can enjoy your craft worries-free. Say goodbye to those sci-fi glasses! 

It’s designed to be secure and only works if the protective screen is properly closed. If the lid is opened while you are working, the laser cartridge stops, and a security warning will ask you to close it to continue the work.

The complete enclosure prevents the laser from ever hitting your eyes and it’s a safe laser product under all normal conditions of use.

About the Performance Level, our machine has no dangerous parts so its safety is very high. The official Performance Level is currently under evaluation, but we are confident about it being an A-level machine on the ISO 13849-1 standard.

An ever-growing community of makers

Over the past 5 years, we have built an active community of over 4.000 users with whom we share projects, tutorials, and events through Social Media. Many of them have made our products an important part of their businesses and creative endeavors. They love us and we love them.

Also, many Universities and Educational Institutions all over Spain have trusted our tools to teach in their classrooms and built their own FabLabs.

Tech specs

We’ve been working on the OKU Desk for more than two years, researching and improving it thanks to over 10 beta-testers in Spain, Portugal and Greece. Now we’re launching the 3rd generation –more powerful, much faster, yet still sporting a refined look with a compact footprint.

Deadlines and shipment

It’s crucial for us that you receive your OKU Desk in the best condition and in the shortest time possible. That’s why we’ve chosen the best express delivery companies.

We will ship products worldwide where our logistic partners can ship, with the exception of Iran, Syria, North Korea, Sudan, Cuba, Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia and Libya. We’ll be working in manufacturing at the end of September in advance and will get started to ship out the products once we receive the backers’ information.

As soon as we ship your OKU Desk, you’ll receive the tracking number.

Estimated delivery time: December 2021.

We’ve already started the production of the first units of the OKU Desk.  C’mon and take a look inside our warehouse.

Meet the Team

We’re a young company formed by a multidisciplinary team specializing in the development of technology applied to digital manufacturing.

Having an electronics and mechanical department and our own manufacturing workshop lets us develop each component thoroughly providing the highest quality.

Our passion for technology has led us to develop all types of CNC machines, from milling machines and plasma cutters to laser engravers.

Following our mission of making digital fabrication available to all, we created the OKU GIVES BACK Program, by donating refurbished old models of the OKU Laser to social organizations and NGO’s in different towns of Spain. When you support the OKU Desk, you are also taking part in this beautiful project.
