Good ventilation is required for clean laser cutting and the wellbeing of all operators! Once we get a laser cutter we also need a large exhaust filtering unit that extracts the fumes, cleans them with a particle filter and an activated charcoal cartridge, and blows the remaining air outside.

Running Cost

Filters are consumables and quite expensive once they're saturated, but they should last a year or so (good units have indicators of air flow for better estimation).

Loaned Unit

Along with our loaned "Zing" laser cutter, we have a vacuair UML 340 cabinet until early 2019.
