It is indispensable for the industry to introduce the most accurate manufacturing technologies. Therefore, laser beam machining centres have been gaining popularity in machining equipment over the last few years. We can perform quick and highly accurate machining with the latest generation of laser equipment which operates in femtosecond pulse mode. The purpose of this study is to find the best femtosecond laser surface machining technique on stainless steels by changing technological parameters. We have compiled a general table that lists the parameters, with variable values in bands and columns to select the most accurate surface treatment with minimal heat affected zone.
