Air safety goes beyond respirators — your ventilation setup determines how effectively fumes are removed from your workspace. In this episode of the Ultimate Guide to Laser Processing, we explain everything you need to know about airflow management.

We’ll compare axial vs. centrifugal fans, break down the importance of static air pressure, and explain how to design your system for negative pressure instead of positive pressure. You’ll also learn how to avoid backdraft, position fans correctly, and make sure your ducting works at peak efficiency.

This is your complete guide to keeping the air safe while working with fiber, CO₂, diode, and UV lasers.
