WeCreat unveils Lumos Ultra, a revolutionary laser system combining UV and MOPA technology for creators and businesses. Launching on Kickstarter April 21, 2026.
WeCreat has announced the upcoming launch of its Lumos Ultra laser system on Kickstarter, scheduled for April 21, 2026. This innovative machine combines two advanced laser technologies into a single platform, aiming to simplify and enhance the workflows of creators, small business owners, and advanced makers.
A special VIP early access period began on March 9, 2026, allowing potential backers to reserve their spot with a $50 deposit. This deposit grants access to $300 in launch savings, priority shipping, and early notification about exclusive Super Early Bird pricing.
The Lumos Ultra stands out as the first integrated system to offer both UV and MOPA laser capabilities. This unique combination eliminates the need for separate machines, reducing costs, saving space, and streamlining the laser processing workflow.
Traditionally, users had to choose between UV lasers for delicate materials like glass and MOPA lasers for metals. The Lumos Ultra merges these technologies, offering professional-grade processing for a wide range of materials and applications. This allows for hybrid material projects, combining different processes, and producing high-value outputs from a single machine.
The Lumos Ultra supports over 2,500 materials and more than 10 mainstream laser processes. This includes glass inner engraving, cold processing, high-precision engraving, metal color engraving, 3D relief engraving, deep engraving, metal cutting, and rust removal.
With this versatility, small businesses can create crystal awards, customize metal jewelry, and more, all using a single machine. 3D printing studios can seamlessly transition from prototype creation to surface texturing and premium finishing. PCB developers can also benefit by engraving fine UV traces and cutting metal boards in-house.
The 6W UV laser is designed for speed, precision, consistency, and clean results. It offers five different glass engraving modes, including a textured inner engraving mode that is significantly faster and produces sharper details compared to conventional methods.
Unlike traditional lasers that use heat, the UV laser utilizes photochemical cold processing. This prevents melting, charring, and deformation, making it ideal for heat-sensitive materials like plastics, resins, and coated materials. The result is clean edges, high contrast, and distortion-free details.
With a small spot size of 0.0019 mm, the UV laser achieves exceptional engraving precision, rendering intricate details with clarity and accuracy.
The Lumos Ultra can be equipped with a 60W or 100W MOPA laser module, making it a unique integrated platform with expandable architecture. This allows for potential future upgrades without the need to replace the entire machine.
MOPA technology enables iridescent and vibrant color engraving on metals. Iridescent color engraving creates dynamic, shimmering effects, while ultra-vibrant color engraving produces stable, saturated colors.
The Lumos Ultra supports 3D metal relief and deep engraving, offering clean edges and consistent depth. With the 60W/100W MOPA module, the system can also handle metal cutting for prototyping, custom components, and industrial applications.
The Lumos Ultra features a fully integrated software ecosystem that simplifies complex operations. It allows for one-click switching between UV and MOPA modes without the need for hardware swaps or recalibration.
Built-in AI tools expedite design and unlock new creative possibilities, including AI-powered 3D modeling and design generation. The software also includes image enhancement tools for background removal, filter application, and engraving optimization.
Powered by a high-speed galvo system, the Lumos Ultra reaches engraving speeds significantly faster than CO2 and diode lasers. It also supports a range of accessories for scalable production and diverse applications, including conveyors, rotary attachments, and slider extensions.
The Lumos Ultra will officially launch on Kickstarter on April 21, 2026, with shipping available to the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Super Early Bird units will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
