EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS ON SURFACE TREATMENT

OF CO2 LASER PROCESSED POLYMER MATERIALS

ABSTRACT

This study investigates the surface treatment of 3D printed Poly-lactic

Acid (PLA)-based polymer materials processed using CO2 laser
technology. In this experiment we can use 3D printed PLA based polymer
materials. Then to perform co2 laser treatment on 3D printed PLA based
polymers. By giving input process parameters of co2 laser which varies in
laser power, scan speed and stand of distance. The stand of distance
means the distance between the laser and the work piece. Using Taguchi
method to analysis the experiment. The findings have implications for
industries requiring precise surface properties, such as biomedical
applications, aerospace components, and consumer products. the
research aims to improvise the surface properties like surface roughness
and hardness of the 3D printed polymer materials.

KEYWORDS: surface treatment, process parameters, laser technology.
