Laser cutting quality control of melamine using artificial neural networks

Experimental analysis has been carried out to seek the optimum combination (cutting speed, laser power, assist pressure of air and standoff distance) of input controllable variables in the process of laser cutting in order to improve the laser cutting quality on non-metallic such as Urea formaldehyd...
