The focus of this study was the investigation of the quasi-simultaneous laser welding (QSW) technique of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) in a T-joint configuration using a circular wobble laser path. The main aim was to find how laser parameters, such as scanning speed, number of scans, and laser power, influence key indicators of weld quality: penetration depth and weld strength. A range of scanning speeds (1–2 m/s) and scan repetitions (20–70) was explored, with the goal of keeping the total welding time around 1 s, a time compatible with industrial mass production. The results demonstrated a clear correlation between linear energy density and penetration depth. Deeper penetrations were achieved at higher energy levels. Weld strength was maximized with a lower number of scans (20) and higher powers (above 130 W). The configuration offering the best combination of weld strength (1137 N) and total welding time (0.8 s) was identified, demonstrating the suitability of QSW for mass production.
