^^^ Actually not as bad as I thought.
You could build a very successful business around this device.

A reddit post from over a year ago asked something similar and someone contacted the system manufacturer. At that time it was: $380,000 for the 500W and $280,000 for the 300W. This place, put their demo 2012 CL500 (500W) up for $275,000 and a CL100 for $145,000.

What would it do on sheet metal?
The examples shown are relatively thick, especially the second video. I imagine there has to be some heat input. Heat input = potential warping... What would be cool is to mount these onto fricking sharks... ... And use them to remove fouling from boats or marine structures.

If the pulse duration of the laser is short with a long thermal recycle time it would be ablating the rust vs. burning it off hence less heat generation. Hitting high peak power at a very short pulse would be ideal. I wonder what type of laser it is...too expensive to be a diode. Maybe a micropulsed CO2? Ugh...I know too much about lasers. Also what happens when you hit bondo?

If it takes off paint and undercoat...... it would be a restoration dream.
