Precision Laser Services & Surface Engineering
NGM Photonics delivers advanced mobile and shop-based laser welding, hardfacing, laser cladding, and precision surface restoration for heavy industry. By replacing high-heat arc processes with handheld fiber laser technology, we reduce or completely eliminate thermal distortion, preserve base metal integrity, and drastically reduce heat-affected zones.
From critical defense components to wear-surface restoration and specialized joining, our scientifically validated processes reduce total labor hours, rework, and operational downtime by up to 70%.

Replace high-heat arc processes with precision laser welding for combat vehicles, naval vessels, and unmanned systems. NGM’s handheld laser technology preserves base metallurgy to eliminate armour softening, joins ultra-thin materials down to 0.005 in (0.13 mm), and enables rapid in-situ combat damage remediation.
Replace multi-pass arc welding on structural frames, skids, and wear components. NGM’s handheld laser welding delivers single-pass root penetration without beveling, ultra-low heat input to preserve dimensional tolerances, and laser hardfacing that extends asset life.
Replace multi-pass arc welding on shell seams, nozzle attachments, and tube-to-tubesheet joints. NGM’s deep-penetration keyhole laser technology delivers leak-tight seals with near-zero shell distortion. It reduces or eliminates costly preheat and post weld heat treatment (PWHT) while exceeding ASME VIII Div. 1 impact toughness requirements.
Replace abrasive media blasting and hazardous solvents with fast, eco-friendly laser ablation. NGM’s mobile and in-shop systems vaporize rust, oxides, paints, and mill scale with zero secondary media waste, saving up to 50% in prep time while delivering pristine, bare-metal finishes for NDT/NDE inspection and weld preps.
