Why We Do This

This contest series exists to make DIY fiber laser building visible, practical, and shared.

The 2nd edition gave builders a clear path: prepare the machine, use official test patterns, publish a project video, and join a public judging process that rewarded real machine performance.

01

Build with real parts

Participants use SkyFire and Alleria Store resources to turn component selection into a working machine.
