Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can a LightWELD handheld laser welder work with?

The IPG LightWELD machines are designed to handle a wide range of metals. This includes stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, titanium, and more. They excel at both thin and thick sections, giving you flexibility across many projects. Unlike traditional methods, the welds are smoother and stronger with minimal finishing needed.

How easy is it to learn handheld laser welding compared to traditional welding?

One of the biggest benefits of the handheld laser welder is how quickly new users can pick it up. While TIG or MIG welding often requires months of training, operators typically become comfortable with handheld laser welding in hours. The process is more forgiving, produces less spatter, and needs minimal cleanup, which means even smaller teams or newer welders can produce professional results quickly.
