The price of a handheld laser welding machine depends mainly on the laser power, component quality, and additional features. For small and medium-sized enterprises or DIY users, a handheld laser welder between $3,000 and $6,000 is usually sufficient for most metal manufacturing or repair needs.

Brand and Configuration Differences of Handheld Laser Welding Machine
Even if the laser power is the same, the price difference of handheld laser welder of different brands and configurations is also obvious, which may be as high as 30%-50%. This is mainly due to the difference in laser source brand. For example, high-end brands IPG and nLIGHT have more advantages than domestic mainstream brands in terms of beam quality and stability, and their prices are naturally higher.
In addition, additional functions of handheld laser welder, such as wire feeding system, swing welding module, and three-in-one (welding, cleaning, cutting), will also significantly increase the welding efficiency.
