When it comes to your welded parts, you shouldn’t have to choose between precision and speed. As part requirements become more demanding, the need for reliable laser welding services continues to grow.
The market for this laser-based manufacturing equipment is expected to nearly triple in market size by 2032, driven by its ability to improve turnaround times, reduce distortion, and deliver consistent, high-quality results.
Advanced CNC laser welding and cleaning systems help you achieve faster turnarounds, cleaner seams, and repeatable quality no matter your industry, including automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
What Is Laser Welding?
Laser welding is a high-precision process that uses a concentrated beam of light to fuse metal surfaces. Unlike traditional arc welding, which spreads heat across a wider area, laser welding focuses energy into a small, controlled zone.
This creates a deep, narrow weld that concentrates heat precisely at the joint, resulting in less distortion and a cleaner finish.
Expert laser welding services use robotic systems programmed for speed, accuracy, and consistency.
This advanced manufacturing technology is ideal for producing parts with tight tolerances and repeatable quality. Compared to TIG welding, laser welding is up to four times faster and often eliminates the need for post-weld cleanup.
How Laser Welding Compares to Traditional Methods
Compared to conventional arc welding techniques, laser welding offers significant advantages in speed, precision, and part quality. For manufacturers who need to move quickly without sacrificing accuracy, it’s an ideal solution.
- TIG welding, while known for its visual appeal and control, is slower and more labor-intensive. Laser welding is faster and produces narrower seams with less distortion, making it a better fit for high-throughput jobs.
- MIG welding is more forgiving with part fit-up and has lower initial costs, but it can’t match the precision or cleanliness of laser welding. For thinner materials or assemblies that need minimal post-processing, laser is the better option.
When combined with other industrial manufacturing solutions, such as CNC machining and laser cleaning, laser welding provides a streamlined way to produce higher-quality parts more quickly.
Where Laser Welding Excels
Laser welding services are ideal for high-precision applications that demand clean seams, minimal distortion, and tight tolerances.
At ReNEW Manufacturing Solutions, we use fiber laser systems capable of welding a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, copper, and nickel-based alloys.
While ideal for thin-gauge parts, our systems can handle material thicknesses up to approximately 0.25 inches (6.35 mm), depending on the joint configuration and metal type.
- Automotive and EV components: Spot welding for battery tabs, busbars, and brackets using dissimilar metals like copper and aluminum
- Aerospace and defense: Deep, narrow welds in stainless steel, titanium, and other alloys where distortion control and accuracy are critical
- Electronics and enclosures: Seam welding for lightweight housings, chassis, and hardware with cosmetic or air-tight requirements
- Industrial fabrication: High-quality welds for enclosures, frames, and machine components with minimal need for finishing or grinding
- Food and sanitary equipment: Smooth, corrosion-resistant stainless welds that are cleaned before and after to meet hygiene standards
Advanced robotic welding stations and in-house precision CNC machining offers a streamlined approach to complex builds. Metal manufacturers with multiple locations are the best to perform these services because they can cut, weld, clean, and machine parts to spec all under one roof.
That means fewer delays, tighter quality control, and greater flexibility for customers with demanding applications.
When Precision and Speed Matter Most
At ReNEW Manufacturing Solutions, we already provide precision laser welding for a range of industrial applications. To continue improving our service and support more complex builds, we’re actively exploring new high-performance welding systems that will allow us to take on an even broader mix of work.
We’re currently evaluating systems from several leading providers, including:
- IPG LightWELD: Known for portable, handheld fiber laser welding systems with built-in cleaning functionality
- DenaliWeld: Offers flexible laser welding platforms for high-mix, low-volume production
- Bodor Laser Welding: Delivers precise, consistent results across various materials
As we expand our capabilities, our goal is to deliver the same speed, consistency, and tight-tolerance results in welding that our customers already expect from our cutting and machining operations.
Manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and beyond count on ReNEW for laser welding services that keep production moving. If you’re dealing with tight specs or aggressive timelines, we’re here to help with the tools, people, and processes to get the job done right.
