The paper introduces a method that uses synthetic data from LS-Plume® simulations to train AI models predicting femtosecond laser surface texturing outcomes on stainless steel. This speeds up development by reducing the need for physical experiments. This approach highlights how simulation and machine learning can make ultrafast laser manufacturing more efficient and sustainable.
