Hi IRstuff, That's a great solution. The only question I'm asking myself is how could I miss the obvious. I need to adapt it a bit because the z axis is iterative, i.e. the distance between the points is dependent on the previous point placement but a simple additional term should take care of...

No you are not, it is not that different but it is different. E.g. if you have four points in a square and you move the opposite points in the opposite direction by their maximum movement range you can increase the volume (by how much of course depends on the range of movement).

Hi Greg, thank you for your reply. I have just read back what I have written and I have not expressed myself clearly enough I believe. The x y z points are not random. The spacing between the individual points remains constant on a x, y and z basis. E.g. the x spacing is 2mm for all, y spacing...

Hi, I've got a quick question: Imagine you have a field of 100x100x3 points with known spacings. Each individual point can be moved by a known range in x, y and z. Your task it to maximize the volume enclosed by the points. Now easiest thing might be to use an optimization algorithm however...

Hi, thanks for your suggestions. I'll have a look at that. Urm, it's just for an experiment as this is a newly purchased laser and I had the feeling some parameters are not what they are supposed to be. Thanks again!

Hi, Thank you for your quick response. Yeah I have got all the default parameters. My question concerns more how I can verify them. E.g. if I'm setting my laser to a frequency of 40 kHz how can I verify that it is actually firing with 40 kHz and not with 38 or something similar. I hope this...

Hi, I was wondering what methods exist to verify the laser parameters of a Nd:YAG laser. Basically if I'm firing on a sheet of metal is there a quick way to makes sure that frequency, speed and power are correct (the same as the laser claims them to be). This might be a really basic question...
