Application

Automotive & Auto Body

From panel repair to custom fabrication and EV battery work, automotive shops need a handheld laser welder that produces welds without warping thin panels, handles dissimilar metals, and holds up under real workshop pressure.

Panels, Not Plate

Precision Where It Matters Most

Automotive bodywork is thin, cosmetically visible, and often made of mixed materials — exactly where traditional MIG and TIG welding struggle most. LightWELD's focused beam minimises heat-affected zones, so panels stay flat and paint-ready with far less filler and finishing work.

  • Minimal distortion on thin body panels and trim
  • Handles dissimilar metals and thickness combinations conventional welding struggles with
  • Wobble welding bridges gaps in imperfect panel fit-up
  • Fast enough to keep bay turnaround times competitive
