In this paper literature has been studied in context to parametric study of Straight line laser
forming. Laser Forming is a non-contact traditional process which uses laser beam as the
forming tool. The capability of laser beam forming and bending demands more experimental
studies to identify an optimized parameter setting and the likely parameters influencing the
formed curvature. By Plasma arc cutting it is possible to cut is very easy. Optimization of the
parameter will be carried out by full factorial method. We will use Stainless Steel 304 material
which is more use in Food processing equipment, chemical containers and Heat exchangers. The
parameters are the most important factors affecting the quality, productivity of the bend in Laser
forming. Where the input parameters are Power, Feed rate, Thickness and Output parameters are
bending angle. A plan of experiments based on Full Factorial techniques has been used to
acquire the data.
