A system for processing or joining materials, comprising a radiation source (L) generating a beam of radiation with flux density enabling to obtain a change in the form or physical properties of given material and directed at the processed material (1), and at least one source of cold atmospheric plasma (A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2) directing a stream (9) of cold atmospheric plasma to an area of the material (1) exposed to the beam from the radiation source (L), or partially or entirely onto a trace (2) of treatment, wherein the system has a feeding head (4) comprising a wire feeder (7) of the welding wire (3) and/or a powder feeder (5), in particular a feeder of metallic, ceramic or metal-ceramic powder, and an additional material feeder (6), in particular for the material in the form of powder or gas, or liquid.
