The PennZone

NEW YORK - PennZone -- Mecpow today announced a new marketing initiative centered on its M1 Desktop Laser Engraver, reinforcing the company's commitment to the home DIY and maker community. Starting February 25, the campaign highlights how the M1's Class 1 safety-certified enclosure, optional purifier compatibility, and beginner-friendly workflow address the three biggest barriers newcomers face: safety, indoor air quality, and ease of use.

Since its launch, the M1 has gained steady traction among first-time users by fitting into the real-world constraints of home workshops—which are often just a corner of a bedroom or living room. Unlike open-frame machines that require bulky ventilation and a dedicated workspace, the Mecpow M1 is designed to be used safely and easily, just about anywhere at home.

Designed with Beginners in Mind

Class 1 Safety, Certified

The Mecpow M1 is FDA Class 1 certified, featuring a fully enclosed protective cover that blocks 99% of laser radiation during normal operation. The machine automatically shuts off if the lid is opened or if tilt is detected—giving users complete peace of mind.

Fume-Free Indoor Operation (with P50 Purifier)

The optional P50 Air Purifier attaches directly to the M1, filtering 99.97% of airborne particulates and odors. This setup enables clean, indoor engraving in any room—no exhaust ducts or window kits required. It's a practical solution for renters and anyone short on space.

Beginner-Friendly Workflow

The M1 arrives fully assembled, with intuitive physical controls and broad software compatibility—including LightBurn, LaserGRBL, and the MKSLaser mobile app. Whether you're personalizing leather keychains, engraving wooden coasters, or marking coated metal tumblers, the M1 delivers clean, consistent results on hundreds of materials—wood, leather, acrylic, coated metals, and more. From unboxing to your first project, there's no guesswork.

Market Position & Availability

The Mecpow M1 is available now on Mecpow's website, Amazon, and Best Buy. It's priced for first-time buyers—affordable, but built to last. For hobbyists, educators, or anyone curious about laser engraving, it offers something most machines in this class don't: real safety features and an easy-to-learn setup.
