Abstract
In the context of contemporary manufacturing, lasers have emerged as a versatile and accurate method, making it important to study the influence of each of its parameters. This can be done by introducing a parametric test matrix approach (also called layer-by-layer). However, due to the large number of parameters that can be adjusted, the con- struction of the test matrix is exhaustive and inefficient. This paper presents the development of a software tool aimed to optimize the parametric test matrix generation, without the complexities of traditional G-code programming. The study encompasses the analysis of a laser machine and its parameters, a G-code generator software design, and system testing. The software, developed in Python, features a modular structure and a user-friendly graphical interface for parameter selection. It enables various laser movement patterns and many G-code syntaxis. Simulations were conducted to validate the software's accuracy and reliability, aligning user-defined patterns with simulated trajectories. This tool has potential to streamline laser processing tasks across diverse materials, machines, and applications. While limitations in syntax integration and in testing are noted, the software emerges as an asset in advancing laser-based manufacturing, offering accessible parameter optimization and comprehensive data management.
