Materials and Surfaces That Can Be Cleaned
Laser Cleaning VS. Other Methods
Laser Cleaning vs. Sandblasting
Laser cleaning is a non-abrasive, contact-free process that minimizes the risk of surface damage, unlike sandblasting, which can erode the material being cleaned. Laser technology is more precise and eliminates the need for abrasive media, making it a cleaner, environmentally friendly alternative for surface cleaning.
