Laser welding
Laser welding puts the heat into the material very locally. That gives a narrow weld and little distortion, and often a joint that needs hardly any finishing.
How it works
The laser beam melts the material exactly along the joint. Because the heat-affected area stays small, the workpiece distorts less than with welding processes that put in more heat, and the weld itself stays narrow and flat.
Where it fits
Laser welding suits joints where the weld stays visible or where dimensional accuracy counts, and thinner sheet metal that would pull under a wider heat input.
Laser welding and laser cutting are two different processes. If you are not sure which operation suits your product, put the question to us and we will look at the joint with you, and at what it means for the rest of the production process.

What we need to quote
If something is missing we will ask. If you are not sure yet yourself, we will look at it with you.
- material and thickness
- the quantities involved
- a drawing: DXF, STEP or a dimensioned PDF
- whether the part still needs finishing or assembly
