How flame resistant is the tray/bed of the Glowforge?

Com’on Mike. You’ve been around the forum long enough to know he doesn’t give a complete answer to those type of questions.

QA testing on the plastic body’s heat resistance. Heat doesn’t always come with fire.

As you might imagine, this is one of those places around which our friendly neighborhood lawyer recommend we be extremely noncommunicative. But yes, we do a great deal of design and testing around heat in many forms.

@dan

That said, the design was created from plastic that softens rather than ignites, and as you probably saw, the lid is a very solid piece of glass. It’s designed to fail in a way that does not spread any fire.
