Abstract

A newcomer and fast developing category of non-conventional machining method, laser machining enables the machining of complicated geometries with high accuracy, surface quality, and productivity in a variety of materials. As a result, it has become necessary to develop a technique that will aid the operator of a laser machine in choosing the best process parameters. An experimental evaluation of how the process parameters affected the efficiency of the laser engraving process was conducted in this study. The average input power and Frequency were subjected to steel 37 and stainless steel 304 respectively. Surface roughness measurement tester used to determine the surface roughness (Ra) for the steel 37 and stainless steel 304.3D laser engraving machines can be a valuable tool for businesses and hobbyists alike. They can be used to create a wide variety of products, from custom awards and trophies to molds for manufacturing. In this Study, a comparison done between steel 37 and stainless steel 304 formed due to laser engraving in surface roughness, accuracy and depth of engraving.
