The laser in the cutting machine is quite large, and lives inside the 'box'. The beam arrives at the back left, shines onto a mirror on the travelling gantry that reflects it to a mirror on the cutter head, which reflects it down to cut the material. The mirrors need to be kept in fine adjustment.

Various other work is done here, toy making, framing, ...
The retail market for jigsaws is not enough to sustain that activity alone, and most of Martin's jigsaw are business commissions.
