Technical guidance
What matters before production starts.
Acrylic is the core laser plastic
Most strong plastic laser cutting work is acrylic or Perspex, where CO2 laser cutting is suitable.
Avoid assumptions
Plastic type must be confirmed before laser cutting because some materials are unsuitable or unsafe.
Edge finish
Laser-cut acrylic edges can differ by sheet type, colour, thickness and protective film.
Router alternative
CNC routing is the safer pathway for many engineering plastics and panel plastics.
