A new technology for laser cutting of glass along a curvilinear contour is described. This technology combines the use of two different methods of cutting in a single technological cycle: laser-controlled thermal splitting on rectilinear sections of the cutting contour and filamentation using a picosecond laser on curvilinear sections of the contour. The proposed technology makes it possible to significantly increase the productivity of the cutting process along curvilinear contours without compromising the strength characteristics of the glass products.
