Carbon Dioxide (CO2) laser cut quality of acrylic with different power

Laser is widely applied in today’s industry. Laser is widely used in industry for cutting and boring metals and other materials, in medicine for surgery, and in communications, scientific research, and holography. Laser cutting machine is often used in marking or engraving wood, glass, acrylic, rubb...

For optimum cut quality, striation frequency and size of HAZ parameters are kept at minimum levels. Increasing power leads to the decrease of striation frequency. The size of HAZ increases when there is an increase in power. Power laser produces small effects on the striation frequency and size of HAZ.
