Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for defining a sequence of relative positionings of a laser head 1 in relation to a part for the machining of a texture etched on the two-dimensional or three-dimensional surface 7 of the part modelled by a 3D meshing, comprising: Open patches whose boundary is affected by the laser ray 2 being defined for any areas which could not be machined from validated closed patches 15. Optionally, the method also comprises a step 400 of merging of the validated closed patches 15 into groups 50 of patches.
