MEET THE EXPERTS BEHIND THIS GUIDE
“Our goal with this guide is to make you confident, informed, and successful—because when your product works, we all win.
This guide is built on decades of hands-on experience, thousands of applications, and hundreds of production projects. It’s modular, practical, and designed to meet you wherever you are in your laser welding journey.
That said—a guide can only take you so far. Laser welding seems simple on paper, but the details trip up even the best engineers. Every project breaks the rules somewhere. Knowing how and when to adapt is what really matters.
This is the guide we wish we had when we started—so tear through it and learn all you can….but we’re here to help when you’re ready!”
