THE ADVANTAGE
What Is Laser Welding?
Clean & Controlled Welds for Precision Metalworking
Laser welding employs a high-energy laser beam to heat and melt materials, forming a seam that cools quickly into a strong, durable weld. This process works with or without filler material, while some laser welder configurations integrate a wire feeder.
Laser weld technology is widely used in applications that require precise, narrow seams and repeatable results with a high-quality finish. This method is particularly effective in joining intricate and thin materials, as it generates small heat-affected zones, minimizing warping.
Laser Photonics provides turnkey and custom-tailored laser welding solutions for smooth integration into existing metalworking processes, both in the field and in production. Our laser welding machines are equipped with technology to produce different seam patterns to meet your application needs.

Laser Welding vs. Traditional Methods
Discover how laser welding outperforms other techniques in terms of weld quality, control, and cost efficiency.
Arc Welding vs. Laser Welding
Arc welding is deemed less suitable for thin metals and precision tasks than for thick metal welding. While this method produces strong welds, the heat-affected zone is larger than a laser welder’s, which can lead to warping of the workpiece. Laser welding, on the other hand, offers exceptional accuracy and fine control, with laser welds benefiting from a small heat-affected zone and less distortion. In addition, arc welding requires experienced operators to manage the arc’s movement and maintain consistent weld quality, unlike laser welding.
MIG Welding vs. Laser Welding
MIG (metal inert gas) welding, a.k.a. wire welding, requires shielding gas and uses a continuously fed wire electrode. It's an affordable welding method suitable for heavy-duty, large-scale applications that don't require the precise and clean finish achieved with a laser welder. This process often produces fumes, depending on the material and shielding gas used. In addition to wire electrodes and gas replenishment, MIG welding requires regular replacement and maintenance of the contact tips and nozzles.
TIG Welding vs. Laser Welding
TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding offers control and precision but produces more heat than laser welding. This increased heat can cause distortion and excessive melting in thin materials, making laser welding a better choice for applications where maintaining the integrity of the material’s shape is critical. Other perks of laser welding include that it is faster than the other two welding methods and yields higher throughput.
Laser Welding Applications
Semi-automated laser welding is particularly convenient for repetitive tasks, optimizing throughput and consistency, which saves time and labor.
How Laser Welding Works
Laser welding uses the thermal impact of a laser beam to fuse metals and thermoplastics.
UnderstandingtheTechnology:
- Infrared laser light is generated in an optical fiber and travels to the welding head
- Inside the welding head, the focus length is adjusted according to project needs
- Technology directs the laser beam to scan the surface in a specific pattern
- The beam melts the materials at a narrow, localized point, creating a high-precision seam
