Benefits of the New Design
The integrated design of the V2 laser head offers several practical benefits:

-
Aesthetic Appeal:
The sleek, modern design of the V2 not only looks great but also reflects the advanced technology within. This makes the V2 an attractive addition to any workspace.

-
Convenient Auto Focus:
The addition of the auto focus button on the V2 frame enhances ease of use, allowing for quick and accurate focusing, which is crucial for achieving high-quality engravings.
