The ComMarker Omni 1 UV Laser Marker Enclosure by Clearview Plastics is a made-to-fit safety and ventilation enclosure for the ComMarker Omni 1 — the 5W/10W, 355 nm UV marker. Its fully transparent OD3+ laser-filtering acrylic panels give you a clear view from every side while blocking 99.9%+ of stray 355 nm UV light and containing the fumes and ozone.
Offered in multiple sizes so you can match the Omni 1 or size up to your media, it's a "set-over" enclosure that assembles in 20–30 minutes and can ship flat-packed or delivered assembled.
Not sure on size, or want a higher-rated OD6+ window? See our universal UV OD3+ enclosure or the heavy-duty UV / Fiber Galvo enclosure.
UV "cold" lasers mark without burning, but 355 nm is still a Class 4 hazard to eyes and skin, and the photochemical process gives off ozone and fine fume. This enclosure keeps the view open while cutting the danger:
Note: the OD3+ panels dramatically reduce stray-light exposure and are spectrometer tested. However they do not reclassify your Class 4 laser. Always wear OD-rated UV safety glasses while the laser is in use.
Neil Henderson here, owner and head designer at Clearview Plastics. My shop is a California-based artisan design studio, and we build every enclosure in-house in Sacramento. Our panels are professionally CNC-cut for accuracy, with parts designed specifically for each machine we support — this isn't a generic box off a marketplace. When you order through us, you work directly with me, and that relationship comes with my genuine appreciation and skilled, personal help.
What does an OD3+ rating mean?
OD3+ means less than 0.1% (one-thousandth) of a beam's power can get through the panel — a 1,000×+ reduction — spectrometer-tested above OD3 across the relevant wavelengths. It's safe for incidental viewing during normal operation, but it is not a certified laser-viewing window and does not reclassify your laser.
Should I get this or the OD6+ heavy-duty enclosure?
This OD3+ acrylic enclosure gives the clearest all-around visibility. For a higher-rated OD6+ UV window with aluminum-composite panels and a more industrial build, choose our UV / Fiber Galvo Laser Marker Enclosure.
What are the exhaust and filtration options?
A 4" exhaust adapter is included. Add a 95 CFM or 200 CFM fan or our window exhaust kit, or step up to a heavy-duty Donaldson AD350 laser-rated filtration unit for indoor operation.
Can it act as a pass-through for long media?
Yes — add the optional side doors; with two side doors the enclosure opens on both sides to pass long or large stock straight through.
Can I get it assembled?
Yes. Choose the delivered-assembled option; you can also add a magnetic door interlock (2-wire lead) and extra seam sealing.
What is your return policy?
30-day return policy. Unused, undamaged panels with masking fully attached are eligible for a full refund less return shipping. Damaged or unmasked panels are not refundable.
