Not sure if this is really what you're asking about, but there are some laser cutting/engraving add-ons you can get. Basically replaces the hot end with a laser. After I upgraded to a Prusa MK4, I'm thinking about getting one of those for my old E3v2 and turning it into a laser cutter.

Looks like they are using it to warm the screen adhesive so they can remove the screen and repair the phone.
