The influence of laser beam technological parameters on the polymethyl methacrylate surface quality

Abstract

The paper is focused on the determination of the course and change of the surface quality parameters obtained by the laser engraving of the material known under commercial name polymethyl methacrylate. The paper aims to find mathematical relations based on regression analysis for amplitudes parameters Ra and Rz. For this purpose, a sample of variable technology parameters will be machined followed by the surface measuring and evaluation using the Talysurf CLI 500 3D Surface Scanner. Thus the data obtained will be subjected to the detailed statistical analysis to check homoscedasticity, the presence of outliers, and multidimensional normality testing. © 2018 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
