This is way overdue but we just want to celebrate before we move too far forward. We are thankful that our first product, the CraftLaser, is in full production and we have managed to fulfil all orders, but hang on, we really don’t want to under play the challenges that we faced and the journey that we took to get here.Â
So here we are, we are going to detail what we did in 2019 and it went like this:Â
Timeline
February 3
April 17
CraftLaser received the official Class 1 Certification.
It is now official, we have the certificate to prove it. We designed our machine with Class 1 specifications from the beginning but we wanted to get the certification done so that our customers can purchase our product with full confidence.
These are our certifications:
April 26
CraftLaser goes into pilot production.
This week has been a very tiring one, however, we are pleased to announce that the pilot production line has been set up and the CraftLasers are getting built. The initial workers in the pilot production line will eventually form the core group to lead in increasing the production line in order to meet production schedules.

CraftLaser local delivery goes into full swing
We’re currently delivering our first batch of machines! We’re so happy to bring and set-up our CraftLaser at Sifr Aromatics a local perfumery at Arab street!
We really hope they enjoy using our equipment to make more High-Quality creations!
The delivery process was relatively easy! As the CraftLaser is portable and light, able to fit in the boot of the car and still being durable enough to withstand the journey.
May 10
CraftLaser delivery to our Indiegogo supporters begin.
We have started delivering the CraftLaser to the earliest backers in Singapore as the first few production Craftlaser roll off our production line. We are still waiting on the final go ahead to start shipping out the overseas order and that should come very very soon.
May 16
CraftLaser delivered to ITE Central.
We made a trip to ITE, to bring them the CraftLaser! We taught the lecturers how to efficiently use the CraftLaser and demonstrated how precise the cuttings can be! CraftLaser is a safe and easy tool to use in any classroom environment, we have video cameras installed that would allow anyone to safely view the cutting process and many safety features against fire implemented in the program!
May 28
CraftLaser goes to Koh Pha-ghan in Thailand.
Our adventure to koh Pha-ghen was an exciting but arduous one but it was a joy to bring limitless crafting possibilities to this little place on an island jungle. #LionsForge_sg had demonstrated the ruggedness of the #CraftLaser, and its unrivalled portability across Air, Land and Sea.
June 6
CraftLaser demo at Monfont Secondary School.
We recently brought 3 machines to Montfort to improve their Maker Space, we held a training session for the teachers too, teaching them how to use the programs and machines effectively and safely, allowing them to pass this knowledge on to their students, as future designers, engineers, and creators.

September 26
CraftLaser delivered to Beatty Secondary School.
CraftLaser delivered an set up at Beatty Secondary School. Transporting a #Lasercutter up 6 flights of stairs is a nightmare for anyone, but not with #CraftLaser! With its super lightweight construction, rigidity and portability, conquering those stairs is just one man effort!
October 26
Kee Wee was invited to CNA938 radio station for an interview.
An exciting day at Mediacorp.
What a privilege to have Kee Wee invited to CNA938 – Weekend with John Yip.
Kee Wee was given the opportunity to share with John live on radio about the CraftLaser, and how LionsForge hopes to spark a start-up culture in Singapore right from their own homes.
In addition, he also gave some words of encouragement to budding entrepreneurs and innovators, not to be held down by ones limitations but to explore and realize ones true potential.
Wow, now that we reviewed it, it hardly seems possible that so much could happen in just 1 year.Â
But rest assured because 2020 will be no different. Even as we continue to build and deliver the CraftLaser, going into more education institutions, we are already deep into the design of our next product, while at the same time providing the best after-sales service possible.
We are confident that the quality of our design and the robustness of the build will ensure that the CraftLaser will serve the schools for many years to come.Â
Onwards to an even more exciting 2020.Â
