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
- Import artwork in a variety of common vector graphic and image formats: AI, PDF, SVG, DXF, PLT, PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP.
