New Technolody Added to M&P Services: Laser Welding of
Plastics!
Laser Welding Concept The laser beam penetrates the upper "transparent" component and is converted into heat by the
absorbing lower component. Since both components need to be pressed together (as in other methods), heat is
conducted from the absorbing lower component allowing both parts to melt and create a bond only where the laser
beam is directed. Clamping of the plastic components that are to be assembled is still essential so that intimate
contact is made to allow the laser beam to melt exactly where the parts need to be bonded
together.
