  • Publication number: 20230191535
    Abstract: A method for engraving a texture on a physical object by a laser beam emitted by a laser head through a galvanometer integrated in a machine tool, in particular a 5-axis laser machine tool comprises: providing an image representing the texture, wherein the image includes a plurality of pixels; defining a plurality of groups of the pixels in accordance with at least one characteristic of the pixels, assigning to each group of the pixels a set of machining parameters; and emitting the laser beam on the physical object to engrave the texture on the surface of the object, wherein the set of machining parameter is applied to engrave the corresponding group of pixels on the physical object.

  • Patent number: 10870171
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for defining a sequence of relative positionings of a laser head 1 in relation to a part for the machining of a texture etched on the two-dimensional or three-dimensional surface 7 of the part modelled by a 3D meshing, comprising: a step 100 of definition of N machining layers intended to be performed in succession, a step 200 of definition, for each machining layer, of patches intended to be each machined from a single position of the laser head 1, comprising closed patches 15, the boundary of which is not affected by the laser ray 2, a step 300 of validation of the closed patches 15, successively from the machining layer 1 to the machining layer N. Open patches whose boundary is affected by the laser ray 2 being defined for any areas which could not be machined from validated closed patches 15. Optionally, the method also comprises a step 400 of merging of the validated closed patches 15 into groups 50 of patches.

  • Patent number: 10486267
    Abstract: A laser ablation method is provided for the engraving of a surface (7) of a two or three dimensional workpiece with a texture (16) by the laser beam (2) of a laser machining head (1). The surface engraving is conducted in one or more layers (17.1, 17.2), which are machined consecutively, wherein each defined layer (17.1, 17.2) to be machined is subdivided into one or more patches (11) intended be machined one after another with the laser beam (2). The borderline (18) of at least one patch (19) is determined in such a manner to follow along a path on the layer (17.1, 17.2, 17.x) which will not be affected by the laser beam (2) engraving of the laser machining head (1).
