laser welding

Beam-joined metal work

Laser welding is a manufacturing process that uses a concentrated beam of light to fuse metal or thermoplastic parts together.

The laser creates intense, localized heat that melts the materials at the joint, forming a strong bond when cooled.

Laser welding offers precision and speed, making it common in automotive, electronics, and medical device manufacturing: The phone's casing was assembled using laser welding.
