A low cost solution for having a clean room environment for handling dies and other components which require a clean room environment. While there are commercial solutions available for sale, they typically cost several thousand dollars, while our BOM, even for the big variant, is typically bellow thousand dollars.
The design was originally based on the premise that the whole goal is just to have some quasi-airtight enclosure of some kind, where a circular airflow can be achieved which is purified by pumping the air through HEPA filters, while accessing the objects to be handled by using gloves fixed to the enclosure. For obvious reasons, a glove box only makes sense when the material to be handled is visible, so acrylic glass was chosen as material for the enclosure.
During the development process it however turned out, that just using glue isn't sufficient for holding
