Laser plastic welding has several advantages over traditional plastic joining techniques: It is more forgiving of differences in resin chemistry and melt temperature. It generates no particulate and causes minimal thermal stress on parts. It also requires no consumables, allows for high precision welding of small parts, and produces optically perfect, hermetic seals with zero defects.
