  Experimental Study of Roughness Analysis of AISI 316L Material using Fiber and CO2 LBM

  By Tukaram Sargar, Aniket Jadhav, Nitish Kumar Gautam

  Abstract: Laser beam machines have gained significant attention as a precise and versatile method for cutting and shaping materials in various industries. This study investigates the surface roughness characteristics of SS 316L, a commonly used stainless steel, when subjected to laser beam machining using both fiber and CO2 laser sources. The aim of this research is to compare the effects of these two laser types on the final surface finish of …

  Enhancing Surface Roughness of Polylactic Acid (PLA) 3D-Printed Parts Using CO₂ Laser Scanning: An Experimental Study on Parameter Optimization

  By B Kiran Kumar, K Tilak, V Sai Deepak, N Tarak

  Abstract: Fused deposition modeling (FDM) of polylactic acid (PLA) often suffers from poor surface finish due to the inherent layer-by-layer deposition process, limiting its use in high-precision applications. This study investigates CO₂ laser scanning as an efficient post-processing technique to reduce the surface roughness (Ra) of PLA parts while maintaining structural integrity. Specimens (100 × 80 × 5 mm) were fabricated with varying infill densities (35%, 70%, and 100%) to assess …
