A perforation forming system includes a laser device and a control unit operably connected to the laser device. The control unit is configured to control the laser device to laser drill a plurality of perforations through a lipskin that has a curved contour. The lipskin includes a metallic coating that defines an exterior surface of the lipskin and a composite panel that defines an interior surface of the lipskin. The control unit is configured to form the perforations by controlling the laser device to emit laser beams that impinge upon the interior surface of the lipskin and penetrate the composite panel before penetrating the metallic coating.
