INTRODUCTION
• Laser milling is a process for direct material removal in a layer-by-layer
fashion to make a blind slot.
• In ‘blind 'milling the depth is not a set parameter but a critical variable
which depends upon material properties, cutting power and speed.
• High absorptivity generally leads to high manufacturing throughput.
• The shorter the wavelength, the better the light absorptivity for metal.
• The higher the wavelength, the better the light absorptivity for polymer.
OBJECTIVE
The present work has been show to investigate blind pocket micro-milling
(Raster mode) performance on two different material titanium as a low
conducting metal and acrylic as a polymer, with different parameters, namely
laser power, cutting speed and number of scan and compare experimental
values with theoretical one.
LITERATURE REVIEW
• The investigation shown by Saklakoglu and Kasman [1] was focused on
micro-milling performance of the AISI H13 using 30-W fiber laser. Their
work involved the effect of laser power, scan speed, frequency and fill
spacing on surface roughness and milling depth during multi-pass
operation. The second-order regression model was proposed to predict
milling depth and surface roughness.
• Snakenborg et al.[2] had reported a use of commercial CO2 laser for
fabrication of micro-fluidic systems in polymers.
EXPERIMENTATION AND MEASUREMENTS
• Work piece materials: In metal category titanium is used because of its low
•
conductivity (21.9 W/ (m- K)) so laser can easily work without conductive loss of
heat. In polymer, transparent acrylic is used which has conductivity (0.2 W/ (m-
K)).

CONCLUSION
1. Light absorptivity of Acrylic is proportional to the wavelength of laser
source, whereas metal has inverse nature.
2. Results show that the increase in depth does inversely vary with cutting
speed, whereas depth does vary linearly with cutting power.
3. After processing of milling it erodes the surface quality and quality of
surface directly vary with increasing the power and quality inversely with
number of pass.
4. In experiment with variation of parameter error vary from 17.25 to 93.04
depending on assumption made in theoretical analysis like no conduction and
radiation loss, homogeneous material etc.
5. Error should be min while critical point of power and velocity supplied.
