The search for a long compound lens combination has revaled some issues that I had not envisaged. The results, although showing some promise, did not fully support my theory on how I would achieve a longer/more efficient cut. I thought I had gained a fairly comprehensive understanding the laser cutting mechanism but the strangely uniform compound lens cutting speeds indicated that I was still missing some pieces of the jigsaw. This session explains all the principles that go into the laser cutting process because in the past I have found that explaining to others helps to simulate my own thought processes.
