The distance the beam travels after the lens is always changing. A fiber laser or diode laser might help there, and the beam angle issue, where the beam is always hitting the surface at a different angle.

This is what's used with scanning-type systems:

As you can see, price is the problem.
If someone wants to give this a try, I have an X-Y scan head (galvo scanners only) I'll sell...

I think you can download the beta (v17e) Mach3 plugin from the Warp9td website. However, if you need a copy just shoot me a PM with contact information and I'll send it to you. You'll need it if you're planning to fire the laser with Mach3.
