Nova Plus 35 Overview
The Thunder Nova Plus 35 is designed for businesses that need a professional laser cutter and engraver without jumping into a large-format footprint. Its 900 x 600mm work area is large enough for many commercial products, while the 60W RF metal tube makes it a strong fit for detailed engraving, clean marking and repeatable CO2 laser workflows. The Nova Plus platform adds practical production tools such as touch autofocus, a camera system, dual air assist, air pressure monitoring and removable honeycomb and blade beds. For South African buyers, MaxLaser pairs the machine with installation, training and ongoing support, making it easier to move from machine purchase to confident production.
