Why Use an Enclosure?
Laser engraving generates fumes, soot, and harmful particles. This enclosure contains smoke and filters fumes to your exhaust system, ensuring safer indoor engraving. Perfect for working with materials like wood, paint, or leather.

What to Expect
Designed for most 400mm x 400mm engravers, our CNC-cut panels and 3D-printed brackets offer precision and durability. The enclosure helps contain smoke when paired with an exhaust system, though regular cleaning may be required due to soot buildup.

 This is what makes our enclosure rad:

Laser engraving indoors produces harmful smoke, fumes, and soot. This enclosure helps trap and exhaust those emissions, reducing exposure to unhealthy air pollutants, especially when working with materials like painted wood, leather, and stained surfaces. This makes your workspace cleaner and safer while maintaining optimal performance.

Who We've Worked With

About Clearview:

Neil Henderson here, Owner and Head Designer at Clearview Plastics. My shop is a California based artisan design studio that builds our enclosures in house, in Sacramento California. My enclosure are professionally CNC cut for accuracy with parts specifically designed for our artisan project. This isn't ordering from Amazon. When you order through us, you with with me, and out relationship comes with my genuine appreciation and personal skilled help.

~~Q&A updates~~

Do the laser filtering panels mean I don't need to wear those amazingly rad safety glasses?

No, While the panels filter UV light at the wavelength that diode lasers operate at, we still suggest you wear those sexy safety glasses.

What is or is not included?

Generally speaking, if you pick the minimum price kit it include acrylic panels and hardware, and you 3D print the brackets and parts. If you choose to include 3Dprinted parts you will have everything you need to set up the enclosure, but you'll need to add your own exhaust fan and hose. We consider this a complete operating kit and the remaining customizations are optional. In all cases you will need to supply a 4" dryer hose to exhaust fumes to the window.

Will your enclosure allow enough vertical space to use the rotary too also?

Yes! The inside height of the enclosure is 15.75" With feet attached and laser head fully articulated up there is just enough room. We also developed an easy to attach  wire lead that helps prevent the laser head wires from bushing on the enclosure lid. In all, this should give enough clearance for engraving onto an 80mm glass or tumbler. 

Do you Ship internationally?

Yes. The shipping costs are automatically calculated at checkout. We ship using USPS/UPS/Fedex with an HS code of 8538.10. Shipping prices with express shipping services often cover import fees and bonds however additional fees, VAT, and other tariffs maybe charged. 

Do the Laser filtering panels allow me to stare at the laser?

No. Independent testing shows the laser filtering panels block wavelengths up to 520nm (desktop Diodes operate at 445nm). However, it is never safe to look directly at the laser. Proper eye protection should be worn when you laser is in use. 

Does the enclosure have an exhaust port to clear smoke and fumes?

Our enclosure includes an exhaust bracket and is great way to keep the smoke and smell contained. The powered fan that is included will help a hobbyist reduce the fumes when you use a 4 inch exhaust hose outside. 

What is the purpose of the Universal Laser Engraver Enclosure Kit V3?
The enclosure is designed to contain and extract fumes (e.g., VOCs and particulates) produced during laser engraving, protecting your workspace and improving air quality. It is compatible with optional BOFA PrintPRO 3 filtration for effective fume control. This enclosure is not intended for laser safety or to reduce the laser’s classification.

Does this enclosure comply with ANSI Z136.1 laser safety standards?
No, this enclosure does not comply with ANSI Z136.1-2007 and is not designed to reduce a Class 4 laser to Class 1. It is for fume extraction only. Users must follow Class 4 laser safety protocols, including wearing appropriate OD-rated safety glasses for the laser’s wavelength (e.g., 450 nm).

Can I operate my laser without safety glasses using this enclosure?
No, you must wear appropriate OD-rated safety glasses for your laser’s wavelength and power (e.g., OD5 or higher for 450 nm diode lasers). This enclosure does not provide sufficient laser radiation protection to eliminate the need for eyewear.

How does the enclosure handle fumes from laser engraving?
The enclosure supports fume extraction with an a powered exhaust or filter system , reducing VOCs and particulates to safe levels can be accomplished with proper air flow and when properly installed. Ensure adequate room ventilation (4–6 air changes per hour) or external venting per local codes.

What safety precautions should I take?

• Wear OD-rated safety glasses for your laser’s wavelength.

• Use the optional BOFA PrintPRO 3 or external ventilation to control fumes.

• Do not open the enclosure during laser operation.

• Ensure a laser safety officer (LSO) evaluates your setup, per ANSI Z136.1.

• Follow all manufacturer instructions for your laser and local safety regulations.

Can the enclosure be customized?
Yes, the flat-packed kit allows customization of size, door placement, and wiring access to fit various diode laser engravers. Contact us to discuss specific requirements for your machine.

What is your return Policy?

We have a 30 day return policy. Unused, undamaged panels that still have the masking fully attached are eligible for a full refund less return shipping. If panels are damaged (after shipment) or the protective mask layer has been removed, we cannot offer a refund. For best results in ensuring fitment and to ensure you like the setup of our enclosures consider at least partially assembling with the mask on. If you find out it isn't for you, this allows to get the return for a full refund.
