Laser processing has been one of the major applications of lasers since they were developed in 1960s because it has remarkable advantages compared with other processing methods. There are many types of the processing methods with lasers, that is, cutting, drilling, welding, texturing, thin-film processing, etc. The methods have been applied to process many materials, for example metals, polymers, glass, semiconductors and so on. Polymers are also used in many fields because of easy processing, lightness in weight, and insulating. In this literature, laser processing of polymer materials are explained in terms of the processing methods.
