Acrylic

We process acrylic for signs, but we are also happy to supply you with cuts.

Acrylic is a very versatile material that is widely used in plastic processing. Using a laser to manipulate acrylic is an effective way to achieve precise cuts and engravings, creating a wide range of shapes and designs.

For the best results, it is important to prepare the acrylic thoroughly to ensure it is free of dirt and dust and cut to the correct thickness and size. Once the acrylic is prepared, it is clamped into the laser and the desired design is entered into the special software that controls the laser.

The benefits of using a laser to process acrylic are many. The laser melts the acrylic at the cut edges to create a smooth and precise surface. It is possible to cut complex shapes and patterns that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional tools. Additionally, the laser leaves no dirt or dust on the material, resulting in consistent and repeatable results and making the material easy to clean and maintain.

However, it is important that processing acrylic with a laser is carried out by experienced and trained personnel, as the laser can also be potentially dangerous if not operated properly. Overall, using a laser to process acrylic offers an impressive opportunity to create works of art from this material and make it even more versatile in plastics processing.
