Your first laser marker won’t be your last. Plan for growth:

Start with desktop, add portable later. Many businesses begin with a desktop system for workshop jobs, then add a portable unit for on-site contracts.

Cabinet first for production shops. If you’re building a marking service with industrial clients, start with a cabinet. The safety and compliance features save time and liability from day one.

Consider modularity. Some manufacturers offer laser sources that can be swapped between portable and desktop housings. This gives you flexibility without buying two complete systems.
