Fuck, I hate not living in the US when things like this appear.
Worst part is that if I try to buy something like this in Brazil, it'll probably get apprehended by customs as a dangerous item.
Another benefit of metal enclosures is shielding the power supplies of these things. High-voltage laser power supplies are noisy, and when you PWM them, they can cause quite a bit of interference. Metal enclosures at least help to attenuate RF emissions.
The "macro camera" is a clever addition for closed-loop optical control (if it is being used for that). Reminds me of attaching an optical mouse sensor the the lens sled.

One of their sample images appears to be of the "Below the Boat" series. http://www.belowtheboat.com/ I've given those maps as gifts, and they're very nice quality. Is there any relationship between your companies? Are they using your laser cutter?
I am surprised it can cut paper without causing ignition. I wonder how many of the projects shown were created using the "basic" ($2K) version and how many were produced using the pro ($4K) version? I will say their early bird prices make these compelling for small business/etsy setups. However once they go to full price, I don't know if that will remain as true. It would take a LOT of wallets to break even at a $4K…

Pretty sure they are talking about the K40 "blue box" laser. I have heard they require some mods to get working properly but for the price some think they are worth it.
More info please :)

Laser cutters generate smoke (with possibly toxic particles). They have air extraction attached to them for that reason. No air extraction on this model?
How is a 40W laser Class I, but the 45W laser is Class IV?

If there are no importers/dealers in Brazil, this is a business opportunity to import machines from China.
This would be a nightmare to make happen, you would need to bribe so many people to get a shipment here that your profit would be unworthy and also make you a criminal or you can run it by the lawn and never get the items or pay 100% taxes over them + their shipping costs making a machine like this cost U$5000,00
