Abstract :Dimples on Al2O3 ceramic plates were created with a CO2 laser using different laser parameters. The effects of the laser parameters used on the dimple geometry were investigated and the necessary laser parameters were optimized to obtain the desired dimple geometry. Taguchi method was used in the optimization process. The effects of laser power, scan speed and laser frequency from laser parameters were investigated. Optimum laser parameters were determined as a result of the Taguchi Optimization method. In addition, the laser parameter with the highest effect on the result was determined. Optimum laser parameters were obtained as 60 W for laser power, 35 s for laser exposure duration and 50 kHz for laser frequency.
