G.C. Laser Systems Inc. is an American laser cleaning system manufacturer and a CWOSB with headquarters in Illinois. Our unique and globally patented laser cleaning technology is proudly designed and made in the USA. This proprietary technology was initially developed to clean cultural heritage buildings and artifacts with unmatched precision, and has evolved into many heavy duty industrial and DoD applications. From making our own scan heads and optics to fabricating our systems with durable stainless steel and powder coated aluminum to endure humid and corrosive environments, we specialize in delivering off the shelf and custom bespoke laser ablation tools that can work during all four seasons worldwide. Notable cultural heritage projects that have utilized our laser ablation technology include the US Supreme Court, the US Senate Building, Notre Dame, Sydney Harbor Bridge, Capitol of Maryland, the Egyptian Obelisk in Central Park, the Smithsonian, and buildings and monuments worldwide. On the industrial side our technology is used for rust removal, paint removal, chloride removal, surface prep, hydrocarbon removal, radiation decontamination, lead abatement, and various other industrial applications that demand precision and efficiency. Branches of the DOD such as the US Army, the US Coast Guard, and the US Air Force use our laser equipment to maintain and service valuable assets.

Problem Statement:

Removing corrosion and coatings from a variety of surfaces can be challenging and the process of abrasive corrosion removal can wear down the thickness of the assets being cleaned, reducing its useful service life, as well as pose environmental concerns with traditional blasting media and chemical stripping containment. Traditional cleaning techniques rely on consumables and have a lot of clean up and disposal costs.
