Abstract

In this paper, the theory of 3D laser welding and cutting was established firstly. Then the expert system for 3D laser processing and software of 3D laser processing CAD/CAM were developed, respectively. Under the guidance of these software, with high power CO₂ laser, the 3D covers of a car have been cut and edge smoothed, which decrease the number of models and shorten the period of production. With adoption of this technology, the covers of extended Hong Qi cars and furthermore Da Hong Qi cars have been processed successfully, which will bring out the innovation of production design and the revolution of processing technology in manufacture industry.
