Cutting parameter levels for polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polycarbonate (PC) in the fusion cutting mechanism [22].

Material	Thickness (mm)	Laser Power (PL, W)	Cutting Speed (CS, m/min)
PE	1	500	11
	3	500	2.2
	6	500	1
	9	500	0.5
PP	1	500	17
	3	500	4
	6	500	1.6
	9	500	0.9
PC	1	500	21
	3	500	5
	6	500	2.1
	9	500	1.1

Note: The assist gas pressure (P_g) ranges from 1 to 4 bar, and the nozzle diameter ranges from 1 to 2 mm in fusion cutting.
