Geometric measurement of the surface of a v-bend during multi-scan laser forming

The data describes the measurement of a v-bend shape formed during multi-scan laser forming.

The purpose of the measurements was to determine the dynamic response during laser forming of a v-bend.

A measurement scanner was used to measure the height of a line perpendicular to the heating scan line of a laser during laser forming. In order to estimate a surface, 105 samples were made with identical settings with the measurement scanner moved along the heating scan line between samples.

A total of 21 positions along the heating scan line were measured. Each position was measured using 5 samples. Due to a memory problem, the measurement scanner could only measure about 3.12 seconds at a time. The measurement scanner is started slightly before each heating scan line starts. Furthermore, each heating scan line is split into its own text file in the data set.
