High throughput system for precision composite panel processing

A system for cutting composite sheets from a composite panel comprising

• a platform defined by a top, a bottom and sidewalls;
• a displacement module on the top of the platform, the displacement module comprising (i) a holder for retaining an uncut composite panel and a primary actuator arranged on the platform engaging to the holder in a manner facilitating transfer of the holder along with the retained panel, and (ii) at least a pair of slicing trays each with a planar surface for receiving the composite panel transferred thereto by the holder and a secondary actuator engaging to at least one of the pair of slicing trays;
• a cutting module located on the platform for slicing a plurality of the composite sheets from the composite panel, which is kept within the slicing tray, by way of heating the composite panel at specific locations using a laser beam generated from a laser which moves on top of the composite panel at a predetermined fashion in multiple working sequences, each moving sequence of the laser being configured to slice N copy of the composite sheet, each composite sheet having a contour profile, wherein the laser is an ultrashort pulse laser capable of emitting ultrashort pulses of laser beam in an order of nanosecond to picosecond,
• wherein the composite panel is a laminate comprising at least a polyethylene layer, an electroplated layer, and a conductive metal layer with the electroplated layer sandwiching in between the polyethylene layer and the conductive metal layer.
