Laser Cut Plastic

Plastic Laser Processing

Many types of plastic can be cut and engraved with a Kern laser system. Below is an engravable plastic often used for name badges and other graphic applications. The plastic is a pure black sheet and as you engrave away the black finish, the white layer appears. Even smaller lasers that Kern offers can cut and engrave laserable plastic with great speed and detail. A very low optics air assist is used so that ‘smoking’ does not occur on the plastic.

Laser cut and engrave plastics and organics at high processing speeds. Plastics are used for many different applications in multiple industries. Kern’s CO2 laser systems compete with this versatility to process plastics of all different types. From light manufacturing and signage to the medical field, it’s all possible.

Kern’s laser cutting precision goes hand and hand with the plastic industry. Even smaller lasers that Kern offers can cut and engrave laserable plastic with great speed and detail.

Some of the plastics Kern customers have had success with include:
