Laser Welding for Prototypes, NPI and Serial Production

The innovative laser welding Addit has been developed by a research project in collaboration with the Institute of Welding in Gliwice and Trumpf.

At Addit, we implement laser welding wherever a project requires a minimized heat-affected zone, reduced deformation, high weld aesthetics and stable, repeatable process quality. We support our customers’ R&D teams already at the technology selection and design-for-manufacturing stage, making the transition from a 3D model and prototype to serial production faster, safer and more cost-effective.

We particularly recommend laser welding for sheet metal components and precision assemblies where a small heat-affected zone, reduced post-weld finishing requirements and stable part geometry after welding are critical. In many thin-wall applications, and with properly prepared joints, laser technology can be an effective alternative to TIG welding.

We provide both manual and robotic laser welding. For serial production applications, we use a robotic welding cell based on the TRUMPF TruDisk 3302 system, enabling highly repeatable processes with excellent scalability for industrial production. For development projects and low-volume series, we also support customers with rapid feasibility verification, process parameter selection and technology preparation for further implementation.

Currently, we apply laser welding to carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Joint quality depends primarily on part geometry, surface preparation and edge fit-up; therefore, already at the quotation stage we analyse the 3D model, joint type, functional requirements, expected weld aesthetics and planned production volume. This allows us to determine early whether an autogenous process, a filler-material process or another joining technology will be the most suitable solution.

For R&D teams, the key advantage is that we do not offer welding as a standalone process only. We combine technological, engineering and manufacturing expertise — from DFX and feasibility analyses, through prototypes and reference samples, to process qualification and serial production launch. This enables faster verification of design assumptions, reduces the risk of post-SOP modifications and better prepares the product for stable industrial manufacturing.

Advantages of Laser Welding:

  • High process speed and cleanliness
  • High energy concentration
  • Minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ)
  • Low material distortion
  • Aesthetic welds requiring limited post-processing
  • High process repeatability
  • Capability to join difficult-to-weld materials
  • Greater cost efficiency in serial production

Manual Laser Welding

We currently operate Padewski 2 kW laser welding systems, allowing us to complete projects faster while maintaining high precision and weld quality. Laser technology enables exceptionally aesthetic and durable welds with minimal thermal impact on the material. As a result, we reduce deformation, minimize the need for additional finishing operations and ensure the highest quality of the final product.

Robotic Laser Welding

In recent years, Addit has invested in robotic laser welding technology based on the TRUMPF TruDisk system. The laser beam welding technology used by Addit was designed and developed in cooperation with the Welding Institute in Gliwice and TRUMPF. The implementation was preceded by research into dynamic focal position adjustment. A key parameter of the process is the automatically controlled variable focal positioning of the laser beam, enabling optimization of weld quality and the surrounding material condition.

Technical Parameters:

  • TruDisk 3302 laser, output power: 3300 W
  • BEO 7000210s laser welding head
  • KUKA30/3 six-axis articulated welding robot
  • KFP3-V2H250 manipulator with two rotary axes

Addit gives the new meaning to the quality of welding!
