In this episode of Laser Insights China, we sit down with Ivan Serdyuk, the 2nd place winner of the SkyFire DIY Laser Competition.

Ivan shares his journey as a DIY maker, discussing the real differences between DIY and commercial machines, the limitations of ball screws, and—more importantly—the joy of competition, community, and learning by building.

This is not just a technical conversation, but a human one—about passion, persistence, and why makers keep creating.
