Glossary term
Laser seam
A seam produced using a laser to prepare, cut, or bond the seam surface — typically as part of an automated manufacturing process.
Definition
Laser seams combine the precision of laser processing with adhesive or thermal bonding to produce barrier-integral seams suitable for automated assembly.
Typical seam widths range from 4mm to 9mm depending on the application.
Why it matters to DSEAMS
Laser seams are the basis of Liquants AES — laser-prepared seam surfaces combined with Adhesive Encapsulation to produce fused, barrier-integral seams.
