Laser Beam Delivery Components
Passive Laser Beam Dump
Overview
Originally developed for use inside powder bed fusion 3D printers, this passive beam dump offers a compact and reliable solution for safely absorbing laser energy. Its enclosed design and small footprint make it ideal for tight integration into OEM laser systems, research setups, and other space-constrained environments. No active cooling or electrical connection required—just bolt it in and go.

Applications
Applications
Passive beam dumps—also known as beam traps—are useful in any system where laser light needs to be safely terminated without active cooling or control. Originally designed for additive manufacturing systems like powder bed fusion 3D printers, this model is equally suited for:
-
OEM integration into compact or enclosed laser systems
-
Research labs with limited space
-
Educational setups requiring simple, safe beam termination
- Ideal for environments where water cooling is not permitted
Its self-contained design makes it especially useful in environments where space, weight, or system complexity must be minimized.

Accessories
IR Laser Alignment Cards
Thermal sensitive CO2 alignment cards are used to align optical components to the laser beam axis.
Alignment Targets
Alignment targets make laser beam setup and optical alignment fast and repeatable. Available for all Haas LTI beam delivery sizes, they simplify system setup, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
Product Features
Ceramic & Stainless Steel Construction
Machined from stainless steel for excellent thermal stability and durability in harsh environments. Encased in a ceramic shell as a thermal protective barrier.
Integrated internal absorption
The interior geometry and material finish are engineered to safely absorb and dissipate stray laser light without the need for external cooling or electronics.
Maintenance-free operation
No moving parts, no power, and no coolant—just simple, effective beam termination for low- to moderate-power applications. Perfect for OEM integration or experimental builds.
