Smart Fume Extraction
Exploring a better approach to fume extraction for electronics work.

Mission
Bridging the gap between ineffective and costly fume extraction solutions
Problem
Fume extraction for electronics work is stuck between two extremes. Most affordable products rely on simple fans and basic filters, often provide little confidence in how effectively they capture harmful particles and fumes. On the other end of the market, industrial-grade extraction systems can cost thousands of dollars, making them impractical for many hobbyists, makers, repair technicians, educators, and small businesses.
The result is a frustrating gap: cheap or costly, with very few options in between.
Why This Matters
Anyone who spends hours soldering, repairing electronics, prototyping, or teaching in a workshop environment deserves access to effective fume extraction that is both trustworthy and accessible.
Yet many people are forced to choose between low-cost solutions they don't fully trust and professional systems that exceed their budget.
After weeks of researching the market, we believe this gap deserves closer examination.
How We're Approaching It
Smart Fume Extraction is a research project focused on understanding the real challenges people face when selecting and using fume extraction systems.
We're not launching a product, making performance claims, nor sharing concepts or renderings.
Our goal is simply to learn from the community, understand unmet needs, and explore whether a better approach is possible.
Join the Survey
If you work with soldering, electronics repair, prototyping, manufacturing, education, or any activity that generates fumes, we'd love to hear from you.
Your feedback will help us understand what's working, what's not, and where the biggest opportunities for improvement exist.
Take the survey and help shape the future of smarter fume extraction.
