In other words, the cylindrical pattern is \u201cunrolled\u201d to make the shape a more typical flat workpiece. While this technique might ease the motion control programming burden, often the resulting pattern cycle time suffers due to the many directional changes the rotary axis (in particular) must undergo during laser processing. Alternatively, \u201cfree-running\u201d the rotary axis in a constant direction and raster-scanning the required pattern using high-dynamic galvanometers is a better and far more time-efficient means of writing the same pattern to the cylindrical workpiece.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n    <div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\">\n
