DETERMINING A LASER-ENGRAVED SURFACE USING A REDUCED-ORDER MODEL

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for generating a model of a laser-engraved surface, the method comprising: transforming a first set of values for a first set of parameters associated with a laser-engraving process to a second set of values for a second set of parameters associated with a laser pulse model; modifying the laser pulse model based on the second set of values to produce a modified laser pulse model; and executing the modified laser pulse model to direct a plurality of laser pulses towards a computer-simulated surface, wherein the plurality of laser pulses modify the computer-simulated surface.
