Scanning path planning for laser bending of straight tube into coil-shape tube

Numerical and experimental analysis of the effect of forced cooling on laser tube forming

“…Sheikholeslami et al [10] reported that the bending angle of a square cross-section tube can be increased using a proper strategy in consecutive paths. The importance of path strategy in laser tube forming was highlighted in a study by Wang et al [11]. In the mentioned research, a tube was threedimensionally formed by designing a laser path strategy based on the combination of two 2D paths.…”
