Micro Weld

What Micro Weld does

Micro Weld, Inc. is a privately held U.S. precision welding service provider headquartered in Maple Grove, Minnesota, operating since 1999 with a workforce in the 11-50 range. The company specializes in micro-scale joining of small and delicate metal components, offering micro laser welding (spot sizes from .005" to .100", wire joining down to .0015" diameter), microscopic TIG (GTAW) welding performed under a microscope (down to a couple thousandths of an inch), general TIG welding, and specialty welding on exotic materials including nitinol, platinum, titanium, copper, and various specialty alloys. Services span prototype/R&D work, single-part requests, mold revision and repair, and higher-volume production welding delivered either at the Micro Weld facility or on-site at customer locations.

The firm is ISO 13485, FFL, and SOT certified, allowing it to serve regulated verticals: medical device manufacturers (primary), aerospace and defense contractors, mold and die manufacturers (revision and emergency repair), firearm component manufacturers, oil and gas component suppliers, and general industrial customers. Its underlying technical edge rests on minimal-heat-input welding processes that limit part distortion and reach areas inaccessible to conventional welding, combined with both manual and CNC-programmable laser beam welding for production runs. Material compatibility and tolerance precision (microscale) form the core of its value proposition, supported by typical 1-2 business day lead times and 24-hour emergency service for mold repairs.

Micro Weld operates as a project-based professional services bureau, generating revenue through custom quotes tied to material, complexity, and volume. Customers are acquired primarily through direct outreach, inbound phone inquiries (763-425-8818), and an online quote-request workflow on its website, supplemented by organic content (blog, SEO, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) targeting localized searches such as 'micro welding near me.' It is a member of the Minnesota Precision Manufacturing Association (MPMA), holds no disclosed external funding or parent entity, and ships/services nationwide from its single Maple Grove facility.
