A laser enclosure assembly for providing a safe operating environment for an operator during the laser manipulation of a workpiece. The enclosure assembly generally includes a housing having a ceiling and a floor platform, and a pair of discs rotatably supported by the housing. The enclosure assembly further includes a partition having top and bottom ends respectively near the ceiling and the floor platform of the housing and extending between the discs to define an active chamber and a passive chamber within the housing on opposite sides of the partition. The workpiece is manipulated between the active and passive chambers to ensure the safe operating environment for the operator during the laser manipulation of the workpiece. The enclosure assembly is characterized by a pair of laser dissipation reservoirs disposed between the housing and the top and bottom ends of the partition at a predetermined circumferential position of rotation of the discs for receiving and dissipating energy generated during laser operations.
