Tracking New Releases: Laserax CleanLaser CL-3000 Launches

We’re following the handheld laser cleaning market closely, and Laserax has just introduced the new CleanLaser CL-3000 in mid-June 2026. This updated model features a lighter handheld head, faster scanning speeds, and improved 3-in-1 capability (cleaning, texturing, and coating removal). It’s generating strong interest from shops looking to replace traditional sandblasting, grinding, and chemical methods.

Why Companies Are Switching to This New System

The CleanLaser CL-3000 is designed for rust removal, paint stripping, oxide cleaning, and surface prep on metals up to large surface areas.

Productivity Gains With 3000W power and enhanced scanning technology, users report cleaning speeds 5–10 times faster than manual grinding or media blasting on steel and aluminum. The precise beam allows selective removal without damaging the base material, eliminating multiple steps like masking or post-cleanup. Early testers are seeing 50–75% faster overall surface preparation times.

Reduced Consumables Major cost advantage — no abrasive media, chemicals, or blasting grit required. The system mainly needs electricity and occasional lens protection. Shops switching from sandblasting or dry ice blasting are reporting 70–90% lower ongoing consumable and disposal costs.

Training Considerations The new model includes preset modes for common materials and contaminants, making it relatively easy to operate. Most operators reach good proficiency in 2–5 days. Laserax is bundling a 1–2 day training program that focuses on scan patterns, speed control, and parameter adjustment for different jobs.

Field Examples

  • Fabrication: Shops are using it for weld prep on stainless and aluminum parts, delivering clean surfaces ready for immediate welding.
  • Automotive: Repair and EV facilities like it for removing coatings from body panels and cleaning battery trays with minimal heat input.
  • Aerospace: MRO teams are applying it to remove old coatings from turbine blades and structural components without affecting critical alloys.
  • Contract Manufacturing: Job shops value the quick switching between cleaning and light texturing for varied customer projects.

Practical Notes

Best results require proper fume extraction for painted or coated surfaces. The system performs well on flat and moderately complex geometries but may need multiple passes on very heavy rust. Most shops start by converting 30–50% of their surface prep work. Pricing for the CL-3000 starts around $24,000–$39,000 depending on configuration.

We’ll keep tracking real-world performance of the new Laserax CleanLaser as more units ship into production.
