The problem of generating torch paths for 2D laser cutting of a stock plate nested with a set of free-formed parts is investigated. The objective is to minimize the total length of the torch path starting from a blown depot, then visiting all the given Parts, and retuning back to the depot. A torch Path consists of the depot and Piercing Points each of which is to be specified for cutting a part. The torch path optimization problem is shown to be formulated as an extended version of the standard travelling salesman problem To solve the problem, a hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed. In order to improve the speed of evolution convergence, the algorithm employs a genetic algorithm for global search and a combination of an optimization technique and a genetic algorithm for local optimization. Traditional genetic operators developed for continuous optimization problems are used to effectively deal with the continuous nature of piercing point positions. Computational results are provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed algorithm.

For laser-cutting rapid prototyping systems that fabricate objects with layers having a certain degree of thickness, it is necessary both to minimize surface distortion and to generate dynamically feasible laser cutting trajectories. An effective tangential layer cutting algorithm is developed for this requirements. An energy function is defined in terms of tangential line lengths and their distances. And the energy is minimized for the tangential lines to closely describe a layer suffice. Our method is applied to 3D model samples and the generated tangential lines effectively approximate layer surface and make laser trajectory smooth.

Taguchi methods have been used for a long time to improve the product quality and process performance of a manufacturing system, Few researchers have applied this methodology in laser beam cutting (LBC) of sheet metals and found the considerable improvement in cut qualities. In all experimental investigations of LBC so far, the objective was to optimize the single quality characteristic at a time. In this paper the simultaneous optimization of multiple quality characteristics such as Kerf width and material removal rate (MRR) during pulsed Nd:YAG LBC of thin sheet of magnetic material (high Silicon-steel) has been presented using Taguchi's quality loss function. The results show the considerable improvement in multiple S/N ratio as compared to initial cutting condition. Also, the comparison of results from single and multi-objective optimization have been presented and it was found that the loss in quality is always possible shifting from single quality to multiple quality optimization.

This paper presents a laser cutting of 2D image. 2D image in pixel graphic format is converted into vector graphic image by image processing. Bitmap graphics are made easily, but can not being used in application works for geometry transition. The Sobel's Edge detection method is used to find boundary points on 2D image. The points are fitted into curves with sampling and filtering. Sampling can provide efficient computation and filtering reconstuct features in image. The NC code is generated on MURBS curve of the points. Also, the offset of contour and cutting conditions are considered.

Er:YAG 레이저의 유치와 영구치에서의 법랑질 및 상아질 삭제효과를 비교, 평가하고자 발거된 유치와 영구치를 대상으로 상아세관 내 조직액과 치수 내압을 유지할 수 있는 치아 시편을 제작하고 Er:YAG 레이저를 비접촉식 방법으로 조사세기, pulse repetition rate 등의 조사조건을 달리하여 치면에 조사하고 이때의 치아 삭제량을 비접촉식 삼차원 표면형상 측정기로 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 레이저 조사세기와 pulse repetition rate가 클수록 치아 삭제량이 증가되었다. 2. 유치에서의 삭제량이 법랑질과 상아질 공히 영구치에비해 컸다. 3. 상아질에서의 삭제량이 유치와 영구치 모두 법랑질에서의 삭제량보다 컸다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 Er:YAG레이저는 영구치보다는 유치에서 그리고 법랑질에서보다는 상아질에서 삭제효과가 더 큰 것으로 사료되었다.

This paper addresses the problem of a torch path generation for the 2D laser cutting of a stock plate nested with resular or irregular parts. Under the constaint of the relative positions of parts enforced by nesting, the developed torch path algorithm generate feasible cutting path. In this paper, the basic object is a polygon( a many-slide figure) with holes. A part may be represented as a number of line segments connected end-to-end in counterclockwise order, and formed a closed contour as requied for cutting paths. The objective is to tranverse this cutting contours with a minimum path length. This paper proposes a simulated annealing based dtorch path algorithm, that is an improved version of previously suggested TSP models. Since everypiercing point of parts is not fixed in advance, the algorithm solves as relazed optimization problem for the constraint, thich is one of the main features of the proposed algorithm. For aolving the torch path optimization problem, an efficient generation mechanism of neighborhood structure and as annealing shedule were introduced. In this way, a global solution can be obtained in a reasonable time. Seveeral examples are represented to ilustrate the method.

Rapid Prototyping(RP) systems, that fabricate objects with slicers, typically bear staircase artifacts when slices has a certain degree of thickness. A tangential cutting algorithm is developed in order to remove surface distortion as well as to generate smooth laser-cutting trajectory. For this, an energy function is defined with tangential line length and distance between tangential line and middle contour. Then, the energy is minimized to generate effective tangential line segments. The proposed algorithm is tested and verified on 3D object samples and the results show that the generated tangential lines effectively approximate layer surface and make laser trajectory smooth.
