So.. what can we cut?
We can cut your parts out of plastic or wood. Here’s a little more about the materials that we can cut.
Acrylic (cast, extruded, or impact modified):
A very laser friendly material that cuts and engraves well and is typically 10 times stronger than glass (impact modified acrylic is approximately 25 times stronger than glass). It can be clear, tinted, a variety of solid colors, and even mirrored. It can also be painted for additional flexibility. It can be heated and bent to make a variety of items such as signage, POP displays, card and brochure holders, place markers and much more. The laser cut edge is very smooth since the laser “flame” polishes as it cuts. We can cut acrylic up to ½ inch thick.
Two color engraveable plastics used for name badges and signs are impact modified acrylic and available in many color combinations. Custom color combinations are also available. Just ask.
PETG
Nearly as durable as Polycarbonate, PETG is 175 times stronger than glass. PETG is clear but accepts paint. It can be bent with or without heating and is an excellent choice for machine guards. The cut edge is not as smooth as acrylic, but not as rough as Polycarbonate.
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is approximately 250 times stronger than glass. We routinely cut 3/32 (.093) thick Polycarbonate. Ask us about other thicknesses. Polycarbonate is very durable and has good heat resistance. It is relatively difficult to work with and leaves a rough edge, but if edge quality is not an issue, Polycarbonate can be an excellent material. Polycarbonate is also available in thin film thicknesses to .005” and cuts very well.
Other plastics:
Polyester
Mylar
Delrin
But not PVC – when cut it gives off poisonous chlorine gas.
Many plastics can be ordered with an adhesive back as well, making application and installation easy!
Wood:
We can cut several species of wood; some up to ½ inch.
Cherry engraves very well, and cuts well too. Maple cuts well, but doesn’t show a lot of contrast when engraved. We can also cut Baltic Birch plywood and MDF. Laminating MDF with veneer and laser cutting creates many possibilities. We can also cut adhesive backed veneers to make inlays and wooden labels.
Although we can’t cut metal with our laser, many engraveable plastics have realistic metal finishes. Simulated metal finishes are also achievable using various painting techniques.
