Technical guidance

What matters before production starts.

Perspex is acrylic, but sheet details still matter

Perspex is commonly used as a generic search term for acrylic. Quote quality improves when the sheet type, thickness, colour and visible face are stated clearly.

Router internal corners are radiused

CNC router tools are round, so inside corners and narrow slots need practical radii or review when the part must fit another component.

Laser and router edges are different

CO2 laser cutting may suit fine clean profiles, while CNC routing may suit larger panels, holes, slots, thicker acrylic and mechanical details.

Do not hide final-use requirements

If a Perspex part is a cover, guard, tray, display insert or fitted component, include the final use, mounting method and fit expectations before production.

Is Perspex CNC routing better than laser cutting?

It depends on sheet size, thickness, edge expectation, holes, slots and final use. Simple acrylic profiles may suit CO2 laser, while larger or mechanical parts may suit CNC routing.

Can Perspex CNC routing be quoted instantly?
