KEY FEATURES
- Fume Extraction and Filtration: The Emblaser 2 is built with a fume extractor for venting fumes outdoors. Install the add-on fume filtration system and your laser cutter can be used safely indoors.
- Air-Assist: One of the issues with laser cutting is the burn marks present on the material. With the smart Air-Assist add-on function, a stream of air is simultaneously directed onto the material as the laser cuts, significantly reducing the marks.
- Material Ignition Alert: When it comes to working with laser, there is potential for the burned material to ignite. By monitoring constantly the progress of the laser cutting, the Emblaser 2 will automatically stop and alert users if that happens.
- WiFi/USB connection: Gain full control of the Emblaser 2 via WiFi or traditional USB connection

Reviews & Testimonials for the Emblaser 2 - Laser Cutter & Engraver Complete Kit
Emblaser 2: Easy to set up, perfect size.
With the new Design subject starting in Queensland Schools next year, our College decided to invest in some equipment to create prototypes of students designs. The Emblaser 2 machine fitted perfectly on our standard classroom benches making set up easy. I used the tutorials online which made the process very smooth and when I had issues (College server was blocking me from downloading) "cd-soft" responded to my emails promptly. Also, the software was very easy to use. Students were very impressed that it could engrave standard paper. The machine works great and I believe it is safe for students to operate. Very happy so far.
