The operating costs of laser welding are significantly lower than traditional welding methods as it requires no filler material and eliminates the need for pre-weld and post-weld surface preparation. A laser-generated weld is precise, clean, and strong, producing a visually appealing final product.
In industrial processes, a laser welder is often automated for quicker throughput and consistent welds. Automated laser welding is often used in automotive, aeronautics, electronics, and medical instrument manufacturing.
