Metal

Lasers have revolutionised the way metals are processed in modern industries, offering unparalleled precision, speed, and versatility. From cutting, welding, marking, cladding and even additive manufacturing (3D printing), laser technology enables manufacturers to achieve high-quality results.

Fibre lasers, Nd:YAG lasers, and CO2 lasers are among the most commonly used systems for metal laser processing, capable of handling a wide range of applications such as creating intricate designs, joining dissimilar materials, or enhancing surface properties. Whether in aerospace, automotive, or industrial manufacturing, lasers have become an indispensable tool for working with metals like aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, and copper.

Laser technology is driving sustainability in metal fabrication by reducing material waste while delivering precise results. As industries strive towards greener practices, laser systems are leading the charge in sustainable manufacturing, lasers offer eco-friendly solutions for modern industries, whether it’s laser cutting lightweight aluminium sheets for electric vehicles or cladding turbine blades to extend their lifespan, fibre lasers ensure efficient use of energy during cutting and welding tasks with minimal environmental impact.

Corrosion-Resistant Marking for Durable Components in Manufacturing

TLM Laser supplies marking and engraving systems designed to deliver permanent, high-contrast marks on metals. Whether for traceability codes, logos, or intricate designs, our solutions ensure clarity and compliance with industry standards.

Our collaboration with FOBA guarantees superior results on metals such as steel, aluminium, titanium, copper, brass, gold and silver. With the ability to produce marks that resist wear, corrosion, and extreme conditions, these systems are ideal for aerospace, automotive, and medical applications. Laser engraving offers depth and detail, making it a preferred method for customisation or decorative elements.

Preparing Metal Materials: Rust, Paint, and Contaminant Removal

TLM Laser provides advanced cleaning systems that remove rust, oxides, coatings, and contaminants from metal surfaces. This non-abrasive, chemical-free process helps restore and prepare metals for painting, welding, or extending mould lifecycles, reducing the need for traditional abrasive methods.

In collaboration with 4JET, our systems are designed for precision and reliability, offering unparalleled results for applications such as tool and mould maintenance, production line cleaning, and surface preparation.

Innovating with laser-based 3D metal printing

The Power of Lasers & Metal 3D Printing

Laser-based metal 3D printing, including processes like Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM), is transforming manufacturing across industries. High-powered lasers fuse metal powders to create complex, functional parts directly from CAD models. This technology enables the production of lightweight, intricate components for aerospace, automotive, medical, and toolmaking applications. Key advantages include design freedom, sustainability, customisation, and faster production cycles.
