Rofin Baasel says its lasers can now be used for prototyping parts.
The StarWeld manual performance laser is finding a new home in research and development environments.
A typical research laboratory often needs to prototype new products as rapidly as possible to reduce the time-to-market of new technology.
The speed of conversion of new ideas to working prototypes can quickly translate to a competitive edge within industry.
The StarWeld effortlessly welds many types of metal, including copper, tool-steel and titanium, says the company.
The system is versatile enough to make seam and spot welds while the component is held in the operator's hands beneath the microscope.
Welds can be made from 2.5mm down to 60 microns with Rofin's fine welding and sweet spot resonator options.
The machine runs on a standard 13A 240V electrical supply and benefits from over ten years of ergonomic and technical development, making the machine extremely simple to use.
Most people can make their first good weld with just five minutes of tuition, it says.
