Abstract:A novel computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software system is proposed for laser ablation machining process. The algorithms and prototype software system is designed to offer efficient optimization of tool path for controlled delivery of laser energy into work-piece. The software simplifies part program creation and maintains constant velocity of the sample stage for each segment of a complex tool trajectory. These features enable efficient deposition of laser energy into the work piece and therefore, reductio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
