WHY LASER WELDING?
Every new technology must have strong arguments to replace established methods. Why using lasers for polymer welding? There are several decisive arguments:
• Tools and molds are returned to mint condition
• On-site repairs, minimal post-processing
• Reduced down times
• Welding of wires with diameters as small as 100 microns
• Processing of difficult geometries
• Low heat input
• Low risk of distortion, crack formation or softening
• Processing of high-alloy tool steel
• Quick response to design modifications
