LABSOLDA operates in the technological macro-area of Welding Processes and Automation, characterized by intense interdisciplinarity among Engineering sub-areas, within the scopes of Teaching, Research, and Outreach. This provides students with direct, tangible contact with welding processes and the inseparable alliance between theory and practice, through practical classes, demonstrations, and support for academic work (undergraduate theses, master's dissertations, and doctoral theses).

Its Research actions aim to produce scientific and technological knowledge and generate publications and innovations. This technological mastery and open architecture allow for high flexibility compared to imported commercial equipment, providing the Brazilian industry with state-of-the-art, national solutions in Welding and Automation at acceptable costs. This infrastructure is operated by a holistic, highly specialized team, which ensures the constant relevance and currency of its actions within the Teaching, Research, and Outreach triad.
