Abstract
For the production of thin CFRP-parts, the outer contour needs to be trimmed by a cutting process such as milling or abrasive waterjet cutting. In this context, the demand for a wear free tool is high. An alternative process which allows for a constantly high edge quality and a high productivity is remote laser cutting. Therefore, the absorption of the laser radiation in the material needs to be high. The required optical and structural properties of the edge can be controlled by a suitable distribution of the cutting energy. Copyright Springer-VDI-Verlag GmbH & Co. KG, Düsseldorf.
