摘要

Laser forming is a new type of flexible manufacturing process that has become viable for the shaping of metallic components.Process designing of laser forming involves finding a set of process parameters,including laser power,laser scanning paths,and scanning speed,given a prescribed shape.To date,research has focused on process designing for rectangular plates,and only a few studies are presented for axis-symmetric geometries like circular plates.In the present study,process designing for axis-symmetric geometries-with focus on class of shapes--is handled using a formerly proposed distance-based approach.A prescribed shape is achieved for geometries such as quarter-circular and half-circular ring plates.Experimental results verify the applicability of the proposed method for a class of shapes.
