The machine focuses a ball lens to cut pre-programmed shapes in paper, cardboard, and plywood up to 0.4mm thick. Kayser has also incorporated pre-digital machinery by using a cam system to control the shape of the cut, which is set in motion by a small motor driving a timing belt. The entire process is powered by solar energy.
