What is laser materials processing?

Laser materials processing refers to the use of laser technology to modify, cut, weld, engrave, or otherwise alter the properties of different materials such as metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites. This technique uses focused laser beams to deliver precise amounts of energy to a targeted area, enabling high accuracy and minimal material wastage. Applications include laser cutting, laser welding, surface treatment, engraving, and additive manufacturing. The process is valued for its versatility, precision, and ability to work with a wide range of materials in industries like automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical device manufacturing.
