THE DREMEL DIGILAB LC40 LASER CUTTER IS TESTED AND CERTIFIED FOR SAFETY

The Dremel DigiLab LC40 Laser Cutter is the first and only UL certified laser cutter on the market.

The included Hex Box houses both laser cooling and air assist systems which allow the work area to remain clear of debris and smoke while lasering. This translates to more accurate lasering and unlocks continuous run time. The Dremel DigiLab LC40 Desktop Laser Cutter emits exhaust that will need to be safely handled. You can attach the included hoses to send exhaust outside through a window, or you can purchase the bundle option to include a BOFA AD350 Laser Engraver Fume Extractor so that you can run the LC40 Laser Cutter anywhere inside your home, classroom, workshop, or business with complete peace-of-mind. The BOFA AD350 will require filter changes every 12 to 18 months, and replacement filters can be found here at MatterHackers as well. Overall, the Dremel DigiLab LC40 Laser Cutter requires minimal maintenance to maintain, and repairs are very simple to perform. For an ideal lasering experience, it is recommended that the laser head is properly calibrated manually before each job starts.
