What’s up Arc Junkies, welcome back to the show! Joining me this week is Rex from the Handheld Laser Institute. In this episode, we demystify the tech that’s been flooding your feed—handheld laser welding. Rex breaks down what makes it revolutionary, the real differences between arc and laser, and why the barrier to entry is higher than most realize. We talk about procedure development, cracking challenges with aluminum, metallurgical insights, and how laser welding is shaking up traditional codes and standards. If you’ve ever been curious about laser welding beyond the TikTok hype, this is the episode you need to hear.
