MIG, TIG and handheld laser are all proven processes, but they shape results in different ways. For fabricators working with stainless steel, aluminum and thin‑gauge sheet metal, the differences show up most clearly in heat control, distortion, weld appearance and overall throughput. Understanding how each process behaves makes it easier to match the right tool to the job and to recognize where a handheld laser welder like OptX™ delivers the greatest impact.
