“…The majority of laser forming setups use free convection with the surrounding air to cool the workpiece, which is relatively slow and leads to a pronounced increase in processing time (Figure 7a). In fact, cooling can be the longest part of a laser forming process [52,59,86,107]. To reduce the processing time, researchers have proposed multiple methods for forced cooling such as forced convection with compressed gas streams aimed at either side (Figure 7b) [92,108], passive water cooling with the bottom of the workpiece being placed in a water bath (Figure 7c) [109][110][111], and forced liquid cooling, such as a circulated cooling fluid placed in contact with the bottom of the substrate (Figure 7d) [112][113][114][115].…”
