This page is about the unit — how three functions share one platform, what you see while working, how it is cooled, and what actually arrives with it.
Welding, cutting and marking are not three modules bolted together. They are three uses of the same beam, delivered into the same open work area.
Energy is placed on a joint you have aimed at under magnification, with the piece held in the position you chose.
The same delivery, driven differently, to separate material instead of joining it — in the same work area, on the same setup.
Hallmarks, initials and codes applied as a finishing operation, without moving the piece to another device to identify it.
Why that matters more than the feature count: because the three share optics and a work area, the expensive part of small-piece work — finding and holding the exact position — is done once instead of three times. The next section takes that claim apart.
On a piece the size of a prong, accuracy is not a property of the laser. It is a property of the position — and every switch between functions is a chance to lose it.
Any laser will put energy somewhere. On a chain link or a prong tip, the whole job is deciding where "somewhere" is, then keeping the piece exactly there while you work. That is why we treat function switching — not power — as the deciding property of this machine.
All three functions run through the same optical path into the same open work area, so the piece is aimed once under one binocular microscope. The operation is changed on the integrated display rather than by moving to another device. Nothing about the holding arrangement has to change to go from a weld to a mark.
We publish no test figure for this, and you should distrust anyone who does. Use criteria you can apply to work already on your bench:
Shared optics protect the position across a function change. They do not protect it across everything else, and pretending otherwise would cost you a piece.
If the position goes anyway: stop before adding a second operation, re-find the joint under magnification against a fixed reference feature on the piece, and confirm the aim before restarting. When a job routinely defeats that, send us photographs of the piece rather than guessing. Have us run your piece first
Aiming is done through a binocular microscope, with both eyes and real depth perception, at the working distance your hands are already used to.
The M3 is cooled by air. There is no external water chiller in the arrangement, which removes an entire class of things that can go wrong away from the laser itself.
The M3 is offered in multiple power configurations. We deliberately do not open that conversation with a figure, because the figure is the answer, not the question.
The metals you work in, the joints you repeat most, the smallest and largest pieces you handle, and whether stone-set work is routine or occasional for you.
A configuration picked from a specification sheet is picked against someone else's bench. Described work gives us something real to match, and gives you a reason for the answer.
Configuration guidance comes back with your quote. Where the work sits near a limit, the reliable way to settle it is a sample rather than a specification argument.
What we will not do: publish a configuration table that implies every workshop should buy the same one, or claim capability beyond what the M3 is validated for. How configurations and quoting work
Left column is the fact. Right column is the only part that matters — what it changes for the person using it.
| Specification | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Functions | Welding, cutting and marking on one platform — the multi-step job stays at one station instead of moving between devices. |
| Format | A desktop unit, approximately 300 × 340 × 320 mm — the figure to measure against before ordering. Bench footprint detail. |
| Cooling | Air-cooled — no external chiller, no water to change, but clear airflow and normal extraction practice are required. |
| Viewing | Binocular microscope — you aim with both eyes and real depth perception instead of judging a joint from a flat image. |
| Control | Integrated display — parameters and function selection sit on the unit, so switching does not mean leaving the eyepieces. |
| Work area | Open working area shared by all three functions — the same access and the same holding arrangement across operations. |
| Power | Multiple configurations — matched to the work you describe rather than chosen from a chart, and confirmed with your quote. |
| Laser source life | Rated above 100,000 hours — a design rating for the source, not a warranty term and not a substitute for one. |
| Validated materials | Gold, silver and platinum among precious metals. Stone-set pieces are assessed case by case. Material detail. |
Anything not in this table, we have not published — because we do not invent specifications, certifications or application results. Ask, and you get either the figure or an honest "not confirmed".
We do not publish a fixed accessory list on this page. What ships depends on the configuration ordered, and a list invented for a web page is worth nothing at unpacking.
So the answer is structural rather than decorative: you get the configured unit, and you get a written list of exactly what accompanies it before you commit — issued against your order, not against a marketing page.
Describe the joints you repeat and the metals they are in. You get a straight answer about fit before any configuration is discussed.
The more precisely the work is described, the more useful the answer. Configuration guidance and the contents list come back together with the quote.
