Question 1

What is LaserGlobal?

Accepted Answer

LaserGlobal is the world's first AI-powered platform for the global laser industry. It unites manufacturers, machine owners, operators, trainers, service providers and insurance providers in one place — with a verified equipment marketplace, community, LSO safety training, warranties, insurance and The Guardian AI expert (built on Claude Sonnet 4.5) for laser cleaning, welding, engraving and cutting professionals.

Question 2

Who is The Guardian?

Accepted Answer

The Guardian is LaserGlobal's built-in AI expert. It is trained on laser safety standards (ANSI Z136.1, FDA/CDRH 21 CFR 1040, IEC 60825), machine settings, warranty best practices, business operations and community moderation. The Guardian is available inside every LaserGlobal portal and also answers publicly in the Guardian Knowledge Library.

Question 3

Does LaserGlobal sell laser equipment directly?

Accepted Answer

No. LaserGlobal operates a verified marketplace where manufacturers list their machines with country-aware compliance defaults (CE, FDA/CDRH, UKCA, RoHS). Machine owners request quotes directly from the manufacturer. LaserGlobal never becomes the reseller of record.

Question 4

What is the Guardian Knowledge Library?

Accepted Answer

The Guardian Knowledge Library is a public, freely citable collection of 1,200+ expert Q&As across laser cleaning (400), welding (250), engraving (250) and cutting (300). Every entry is available at https://laserglobal.ai/library and as machine-readable markdown at https://laserglobal.ai/api/library/md-index.txt for AI crawlers.

Question 5

Is LSO training on LaserGlobal recognized?

Accepted Answer

LaserGlobal's Laser Safety Officer (LSO) training curriculum is aligned to ANSI Z136.1 and FDA/CDRH 21 CFR 1040 requirements. Certificates are verifiable via a public URL and can be attached to a Machine Passport as evidence of trained personnel.

Question 6

How does LaserGlobal help me if a customer sends me a fake listing?

Accepted Answer

The Brand Guardian module on the Manufacturer Portal lets you paste a suspicious URL into a case, runs AI analysis against your official records (marketplace listings, dealer network, machine passports), and produces evidence reports and takedown drafts. Custom registrar/host abuse contacts and bulk takedown across confirmed cases are supported.
