Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 7.69, , language: English, abstract: In today's production and manufacturing industries, the laser cutting method is the broadly used nonconventional, advanced, non-contact type machining process. It has various advantages in using to cut or engrave almost all kinds of materials. In this study the effect of laser engraving parameters on filter paper were quantified using a mathematical model. The main objective of this study was to assess the individual and interaction effect of the input parameters on the surface quality of engraved portion under the experimental conditions that were based on the experimental design. From the experiment it was found that the laser power has the significant effect on the surface roughness. The interaction effect of the speed and number of dots per inch created by nozzle of the laser engraving machine and the quadratic effect of speed also have a significant effect on the output surface quality. It is seen that the roughness increases with the increase in the laser power. Also, it was found that the combination of low laser power and mid engraving speed can results in the good surface quality. Similarly, combination of low speed and DPI results in the good surface quality. Accordingly, interaction effect of low power and high DPI results the better surface quality. The best optimal setting was at 8W of laser power, 205.895 mm/sec of engraving speed and 299.9 numbers of dots per inch, the roughness was found as 5.5693 μm with the percentage error of 0.53%.
