COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD OF AND OPTIMISATION TOOL FOR REFINEMENT OF LASER CUTTING PROCESS PARAMETERS BY MEANS OF AN OPTIMIZATION TOOL

摘要

In one aspect the invention relates to a method of calculating process parameters, which are optimized for processing a workpiece with specific material properties by means of a laser machine, comprising the method steps of: Determining (S10) material properties for which the process parameters should be optimized; Determining (S20) preconfigured initial process parameters; Executing a re-optimization algorithm (S30) until a target objective function is minimized or maximized for calculating optimized material-specific process parameters by accessing a storage with a statistical model, wherein the statistical model is based on Bayesian optimization using Gaussian Processes as priors.
