Manufacturing byproduct collection systems and methods

Abstract:

A byproduct collection system is configured to collect byproducts of a manufacturing operation on a workpiece. The byproduct collection system includes a collection shroud defining a collection chamber, and a securing mount coupled to the collection shroud. The securing mount is configured to removably secure the byproduct collection system to a surface of the workpiece so that the collection shroud is proximate to a working location of the workpiece during a working operation on the workpiece.
