The Future of Welding. Delivered with Laser Precision.
Laser Materials Processing and Welding
NGM Photonics is shifting the paradigm of traditional manufacturing and weld repair by leveraging the latest generation of Handheld Laser Beam Welding (HLBW) technology to deliver step-change economics with exceptional precision. HLBW is unlocking a new era in the science and technology of welding and joining, and NGM Photonics is at the forefront of this industrial revolution.
Led by an experienced executive team with more than 30 years of combined expertise in laser welding and industrial manufacturing, our mission is to transform industrial fabrication. By replacing conventional multi-pass arc welding with highly focused, single-pass laser welding, we significantly reduce heat input and distortion, minimize weld defects, improve joint properties and performance, and dramatically reduce project labour hours.
Our certified, safety-first operating model enables this powerful technology to be deployed at scale while protecting people and assets. What truly sets NGM apart is our ability to safely deploy HLBW onsite, allowing us to repair our customers’ most complex and challenging components where they operate.
The precision and low heat input of laser welding can also reduce or eliminate costly secondary processes, including preheating, post-weld heat treatment, and distortion correction. NGM Photonics delivers stronger, faster, and more efficient welding solutions for critical applications where failure and downtime are not options.
Maximum Efficiency
Reduce or eliminate pre- and post-weld heat treatments for faster processing times, lower costs, and reduced down time all without compromising on quality and performance.
Higher Quality
Producing harder, stronger and tougher weld joints, consistently outperforming traditional arc welding metrics with the same materials. Validated with industry leading metallographic and destructive testing equipment, NGM’s quality is backed by rigorous testing and analysis. Upgrade your process not your materials, and make the weld the strongest link in the chain not the weakest.
Cost Reduction
Driving down total operational expenses and repair or processing costs by up to 70% through the power of advanced laser technology. Less welding, less processing, and less cost all with less headaches.
