Abstract

Laser-plotters are used in the manufacturing industry to draw trademarks and decorations on the metallic surfaces of some products and devices. Given a pattern, the laser-plotter beam routing problem amounts to routing a laser-plotter beam in such a way that the total drawing time is minimised and some additional requirements are met. The aim of this paper is to model and solve the laser-plotter beam routing problem as a constrained Arc Routing Problem. Computational results on test problems with up to 225 vertices are reported.
