Acrylic-based materials cut beautifully on Kern’s CO2 laser systems.
Acrylic is one of the most popular materials used by laser operators. Kern’s CO2 lasers will cut acrylic with a fire-polished edge quality. Using a special lens when cutting thick acrylic results in a straight cut edge with only one pass of the laser beam. Multiple rastering techniques can be used to etch a frosty white mark or a clear and smooth engraved look.
Whether you refer to it as acrylic, PMMA, plexi or some other name, one thing is certain: laser cutting and engraving works beautifully on acrylic. So much so that it can be difficult to stick with alternative processing technologies like routering or sawing.
Unlike Kern lasers, alternative processing technologies are known to leave hazy or milky edge coloring and require secondary processes like flame polishing.
