Materials Processing

Materials Processing

Lasers are a preferred tool for manufacturers across a broad variety of industries and applications. Offering high speed, energy efficient, and highly repeatable processing of metal and polymer parts, whether thick, thin, large, or small, IPG fiber laser solutions enable the optimized materials processing required for industrial production.



Laser Cutting

Laser Cutting

Laser cutting offers consistent high-quality cuts across a wide range of materials and thicknesses with lower kerf and thermal stress than traditional cutting methods. Powered by continuous or pulsed lasers that pierce cleanly and quickly, laser cutting suffers from no tool wear while providing accurate, clean cuts that make post-processing virtually unnecessary.

Laser Cleaning

Laser Cleaning

Laser cleaning, also known as laser ablation, is an environmentally-friendly process that requires no costly material handling like chemical cleaning or abrasive blasting. Lasers are non-contact and spatially selective, removing material only from the area required with a process that never degrades in quality.

Laser Marking

Laser Marking

Laser marking is a non-contact, permanent marking method used across a variety of industries where part traceability is critical including medical, aerospace, and automotive. For text, codes, or symbols laser marking creates high-quality, high-contrast durable marks of any size or shape quickly and reliably.

Laser Cladding

Laser Cladding

Laser cladding, or laser metal deposition, uses a laser beam to melt a stream of metallic powder or feed wire onto a workpiece surface. Capable of addressing both fine and large areas, laser cladding is a flexible, high speed process that produces high quality results with a minimal heat affected zone.

Laser Brazing

Laser Brazing

The primary difference between welding and brazing is that welding involves the melting of the base material, whereas brazing involves melting only a filler metal which is flowed into the joint to create a bond between the base parts. Laser brazing is a high-speed, high-precision process that minimizes heat input.
