Abstract: Systems and methods for laser processing systems and associated methods for using and manufacturing such systems are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a laser processing system includes a controller, a laser source, a material support, and a beam delivery subsystem operably coupled to the controller. The beam delivery subsystem comprises an optical carriage assembly configured to receive and modify a laser beam from the laser source, and direct the laser beam toward a material to be processed carried by the material support. The optical carriage assembly is further configured to focus the laser beam within a material processing field to obtain an adjustable power density within a material processing plane and achieve an optimal selected condition for the material to be processed.

Abstract: Laser processing systems that employ multi-camera vision subsystems and associated methods of use and manufacture are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method for processing one or more materials or compositions of materials with a laser processing system comprises generating, via a first camera carried by the laser processing system, a first preview image of one or more materials to be processed. The first preview image comprises an image of an entire material processing field. The method also comprises generating, via a second camera carried by the laser processing system, a second preview image. The second preview image comprises an image of only a selected portion of the material processing field from the first preview image. Based on the second preview image, the method further comprises modifying a design file relative to a material to be processed.
