Introduction
In recent years, glass has been widely used in different industrial field due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. However the glass cutting is always a difficulty because of its fracture characteristics. Especially in the field of irregular curve cutting, sloped cutting and drilling. In this study, we developed a so called “laser saw” technology. With this technology, the laser power for cutting thick glass could be significantly decreased. Not only can it cut irregular shape but also it can realize sloped cutting which means the cutting section is not perpendicular to the glass surface. Continue reading
