Kerf width is one of the most important quality items in cutting of thin metallic sheets. The aim of this study was to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for analysis and prediction of kerf width in laser cutting of thin non-oriented electrical steel sheets. Three input process parameters were considered, namely, laser power, cutting speed, and pulse frequency, while one output parameter, kerf width, was evaluated. In total, 40 sets of experimental data were obtained for developm
