    INTRODUCTION EXPAND 3 is designed for laser users who have extreme airflow requirements for demanding substrates and commercial/industrial volume production. With 3 Blower Modules as standard equipment, the Expand 3 is the most powerful laser fume extractor in the Filtrabox lineup. Its triple Blower Modules easily extract dust and fumes, circulating the air through the filters, outputting clean air back into the room.
