laser machining, a form of machining, in which a laser is directed towards the work piece for machining. This process uses thermal energy to remove material from metallic or nonmetallic surfaces. The laser is focused onto the surface to be worked and the thermal energy of the laser is transferred to the surface, heating and melting or vaporizing the material. Laser beam machining is best suited for brittle materials with low conductivity, but can be used on most materials.

Molto acquired micro laser machining for welding, cladding, marking, surface treatment, drilling, and cutting among other manufacturing processes. Our parts are used in the automobile, shipbuilding, aerospace, steel, electronics, and medical industries for precision machining of complex parts.
