About Showven Maiman Laser

Showven Maiman-serie full-color RGB-lasers met dubbellaags structuurontwerp. IP65-geclassificeerde behuizing zorgt ervoor dat het apparaat zelfs in de regen zonder beschermkap gebruikt kan worden. Een volledig spuitgegoten constructie maakt het robuust, stevig en lichter dan traditionele producten. Externe dimbeugel, eenvoudige hoekafstelvoorziening en andere handige functies zorgen voor een uitstekende gebruikerservaring. Zuivere diode-lichtbronnen garanderen hogere betrouwbaarheid en kleinere straaldivergentiehoeken. Voorzien van een veiligheidsschakelsleutel, externe noodstopfunctie, enz. voor veiligheid en beheersbaarheid.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Maiman series full-color RGB lasers with double-layer structure, lightweight but robust. IP65-rated enclosure ensures it can be used without a protective cover even in the rain. Pure diode light sources guarantee higher reliability and smaller beam divergence angles. Equipped with a safety switch key, remote E-stop function, etc. ensure safety and controllability. For longer service life, lasers have PWM fan control, noise reduction design, real-time temperature monitoring, etc.
Dimensions & Packaging: Dimension: 495*471*226mm
Weight: 27kg
Output (max): 30W/40W/60W
Work Temp.: -20-40°C
IP level: IP65
Tags: (laser, light, show, IP65, lightweight)
Production Technology: A whole die-casting molding makes it robust and sturdy and 25% lighter than traditional products. Rounded corners, exterior seamless, IP65 rating realized. The straight knurling on both sides achieves 360°angle adjustment. External dimming bracket, PWM fan control, silent design. TEC temperature control, real-time temperature monitoring, and over-temperature protection. FAC fast axis compression technology, analog modulation, high linearity, and rich beam color.
Design Challenge: We have been solving the problem of how to put such a high-power laser in a small size and also meet IP65-rated waterproof performance. Because from experience, it takes a large space to fit so many parts in, and a small volume means miniaturization of many core parts and redesign of structure and heat dissipation. In the end, we made a lot of innovations in materials, structure, waterproofing, optics, and heat dissipation.
Research: Type of Research:laser system.
Research Objectives:Miniaturization of IP65 lasers.
Methodology:Structuring and Optical Technology Innovation.
Data Collection and Research Tools Used:Laser power converters, scanning microscope systems, etc.
Participants or Experiments: Showven
Results: Small size, lightweight and high-performance IP65-rated lasers
Insights and Impacts:Changing Shape and Design Trends of Traditional Lasers
Effect of the Research in Real-Life:Bring quality, premium design and cost-effective laser system
Inspiration: When I saw a lot of lasers, heavy, fragile, and inconvenient to operate, I wondered why lasers always grow into a look - four square, without any rounded corners. When you adjust the angle, you have to unscrew a bunch of screws, and on rainy days also have to put a protective bag for it. So the material and structural innovation make the appearance solid and rounded, it easy to adjust the laser angle, and it reaches the IP65 level and can be used on rainy days and create a good laser effect.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2010 in China and finished in January 2014 in China, and was exhibited at Prolight + sound 2024 in March 2024 in Frankfurt.
Operation Flow: There are very few screws in the whole product, the lens cap is designed with a slide, and its carrying handle also serves as a tool to adjust the laser angle. It has a lot of pre-made graphics built in. Even without using professional FB4 software you can have many laser effects. Of course, you can get more functions by using FB4 software.
