Laser Machine 1000W

Share definition Flag
A 1000-watt (1kW) integrated laser system representing the entry point to serious industrial metal cutting. At 1kW, lasers cut through 12mm steel, 6mm stainless steel, and 10mm aluminum efficiently, enabling structural fabrication and production manufacturing. The 1000W Machine requires substantial infrastructure: three-phase power, industrial cooling, compressed air or nitrogen assist, and trained operators. In the laser world, crossing the kilowatt threshold means entering the realm where lasers replace traditional cutting methods like plasma and waterjet for many applications. The 1kW Machine is the foundation of modern sheet metal fabrication.
Example: "When the sheet metal shop installed their first Laser Machine 1000W, they stopped outsourcing their cutting entirely. The control and precision beat plasma on every job."

Laser Machine 1200W

Share definition Flag
A 1200-watt integrated laser system offering improved speed and thickness capability over 1kW models. At 1200W, lasers cut through 15mm steel, 8mm stainless steel, and 12mm aluminum with good edge quality. The extra 200 watts translate directly to faster cutting speeds and the ability to handle slightly thicker materials, making the 1200W Machine ideal for shops that need maximum productivity from their laser investment. It's a common choice for growing fabrication businesses that have outgrown their 1kW systems but aren't ready for the jump to 2kW and above.
Example: "Their production volume increased enough that the 1kW Machine couldn't keep up. The upgrade to a Laser Machine 1200W gave them the speed they needed without the cost of a full 2kW system."

A 10000-watt (10kW) integrated laser system representing the current frontier of industrial laser cutting technology. At 10kW, lasers cut through 60mm steel, 30mm stainless steel, and 50mm aluminum—thicknesses that were previously impossible with laser technology. The 10kW Machine requires massive infrastructure: specialized power supplies, industrial-scale cooling, heavy-duty motion systems, and advanced safety enclosures. It's found in only the most advanced manufacturing facilities, shipyards, and heavy industrial applications. At this power level, the distinction between "cutting" and "vaporizing" blurs—materials don't just melt; they transform directly from solid to vapor in the beam's path. The 10kW laser represents humanity's ability to concentrate energy with unprecedented precision and power.
Example: "The research laboratory's Laser Machine 10000W wasn't just for cutting—it was for understanding how materials behave under extreme energy flux. The physics they learned enabled the next generation of industrial lasers."

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
