Method and apparatus for material processing
First Claim
1. An apparatus for processing a surface of an inhabitable structure, the apparatus comprising:
- a laser head adapted to provide laser light to an interaction region and adapted to remove material from the interaction region; and
an anchoring mechanism adapted to be releasably coupled to the structure and releasably coupled to the laser head;
wherein the laser head comprises a containment plenum adapted to confine the material and to remove the material from the interaction region.

Abstract
An apparatus processes a surface of an inhabitable structure. The apparatus includes a laser base unit adapted to provide laser light to an interaction region, the laser light removing material from the structure. The laser base unit includes a laser generator and a laser head coupled to the laser generator. The laser head is adapted to remove the material from the interaction region, thereby providing reduced disruption to activities within the structure. The apparatus further includes an anchoring mechanism adapted to be releasably coupled to the structure and releasably coupled to the laser head. The apparatus further includes a controller electrically coupled to the laser base unit. The controller is adapted to transmit control signals to the laser base unit in response to user input.
