Industry Overview: Metalworking Industry

The metalworking industry serves as a fundamental pillar of manufacturing, with wide applications in machinery, construction, aerospace, home appliances, and more. It involves multiple processes such as metal cutting, welding, marking, and surface treatment.

With the rise of high-end manufacturing and smart factories, there is an increasing demand for precision, efficiency, automation, and environmental sustainability in metal processing. Laser technology, known for its high efficiency, non-contact operation, precision, and flexibility, is gradually replacing traditional mechanical methods and driving the upgrade of metalworking processes.

Industry Challenges

  • Wide variety of materials (carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, etc.) requiring high process compatibility

  • Complex and variable part shapes demanding high cutting precision and flexibility

  • Conventional marking is prone to wear, making traceability difficult

  • Welding must balance strength and appearance quality

  • Surface treatment (rust/paint removal) is labor-intensive and under environmental pressure
