Steve, the laser featured has 100W average power (120 Joules max. and 12 kW peak power) - it has a bigger brother called the Integral with 200W average and the same peak power.
He is not using gloves at the beginning - they are actually "cuffs" which prevent stray laser light from being viewed by anyone outside the laser. When his hands are inside the laser they are not protected - however the laser beam is infra-red (so only danger is heat) - compared to a soldering iron or scalpel blade the laser is considerably "safer". I have hit myself with the laser on many occassions and the worst you can say is "ouch".
Hi, thanks for your comment the material is fine wire (diameter 0.4mm) which is deposited by hand - you can see it in the last 10 seconds of the video.
i dont understand what this machine can do..

I'm a master laser welder and welding engineer. What is the maximum average wattage available of this machine model?

I think the narration is quite good. What seems to be missing?
