An experimental study is presented to investigate the effects of cutting conditions on kerf geometry with variable process parameters. Laser traverse speed, laser power and laser focal position relative to the specimen surface are varied during the cutting process to simulate the situations encountered in practice. Various trends of the kerf geometrical features in terms of the varying process parameters are presented and analysed, and shown to be reasonable. Discussions are also given on kerf geometry control in situations where variable cutting parameters are used.
