The Lumos Ultra by WeCreat is positioned as the world's first integrated laser system to combine a 6W ultraviolet laser with a high-power MOPA fiber laser in a single machine. This is expected to enable precise processing of both delicate non-metal materials and durable metals without requiring separate equipment.
The Lumos Ultra boasts a UV laser with cold photochemical processing, which allows for clean, no-burn engraving on heat-sensitive items like glass, plastics, and leather. Meanwhile, the MOPA fiber laser module, available in 60 or 100-watt configurations, unlocks professional metal applications such as vibrant color engraving, deep relief, and even metal cutting.
The integrated laser system's software intelligence further streamlines the creative process with one-click switching between laser types, AIGC-powered design tools for generating models and images, and automated features like smart layout and camera-based positioning.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Integrated Multi-modal Laser Systems
- Consolidation of UV and high-power fiber lasers into a single platform reduces capital expenditure and toolchain complexity, creating opportunities for small-to-medium shops to handle both delicate and heavy-duty processing on one workstation.
- Cold Photochemical UV Processing
- Cold photochemical engraving on heat-sensitive substrates permits burn-free marking and fine detail on plastics, glass, and leather, which could shift material choices and finishing techniques across precision manufacturing.
- AI-driven Laser Workflow Automation
- AIGC-generated designs combined with one-click switching and camera-based positioning streamline prepress and setup, potentially compressing design-to-production cycles and lowering the skill threshold for complex laser tasks.
Sectors Adopting This
- High-precision Metal Fabrication
- Integrated MOPA fiber modules offering color engraving, deep relief, and cutting in the same system introduce new possibilities for small fabricators to produce high-value decorated and functional metal parts without separate tooling.
- Bespoke Consumer Personalization
- Cold UV engraving alongside metal-color effects supports a broader range of personalized products—from etched glass and leather goods to color-engraved metal gifts—potentially expanding custom-product assortments for retailers and studios.
- Electronics Prototyping and PCB Repair
- Precise, low-thermal UV processing paired with high-power fiber capabilities allows for delicate marking and selective cutting on mixed-material assemblies, which may transform rapid prototyping and localized repair workflows in electronics.
