Angle of incidence
The maximum angle of incidence of the laser beam must not be exceeded.
The surface of the polymer is activated by the laser light. The maximum angle of incidence of the laser beam on the surface to be structured must not be exceeded if safe activation is to be achieved.
The angle of incidence is the angle between the orthogonal to the activated surface and the laser beam. Angles of incidence exceeding 70° are reduced by rotating the component during the laser processing step. This technique can also be used to realize artwork lying on surfaces separated by angles of 90°.
