Acrylic
One of the most laser cut materials
Acrylic was one of the first materials to be laser cut. It’s unique in that it’s the only material that completely vapourises when cut – it doesn’t melt and drip, it just disappears! We can cut acrylic parts up to 2440 x 1220mm, 25mm thick and with a polished edge. We keep stocks of various types and colours and can usually get sheets quickly. There is a vast range of colours available (normally in 3 & 5mm thick) but not all colours shown in the supplier brochures are always available.
Don’t forget acrylic is an excellent material for laser engraving
