About Dax Hamilton

Laser Plastic Welding is my life… well, my career-life, that is! During the last 13 years, I have focused on learning every aspect of the Laser Plastic Welding field with the intent of being able to provide expert knowledge in an “unbiased” format to various OEM’s in the Medical Device, Consumer Electronics and Automotive markets.Formally trained as a Machinist, CNC Programmer, and Mechanical Engineer, I use this background as a foundation for adapting real-world solutions to the various laser plastic welding applications that I help my customers with.My expansive network in this field allows me to help customers "holistically" with nearly any need they might have, from material selection and joint design to prototyping, laser sources and wavelengths, machines, automation, and inspection. Reach out to me with any questions you have about Laser Plastic Welding!
