The laser cutting process is one of the most established processes and has a great number of applications in the automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding and material processing industries. It can be used for several processes such as cutting, engraving and welding for metals and nonmetals. This book investigates experimentally the quality of laser cutting for the Glass Woven Fabrics (GWF) composite material, with the use of a continuous wave carbon dioxide (CO2) laser (10.6m wavelength). A CO2 laser was used to cut 4 mm thickness of GWF panels. The quality of the cut has been monitored by...
