With Thicker Two-Color Acrylic Added To Both The NZ And USA Catalogs, You Have Even More Design Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s something special about two-color acrylics. The contrast. The professional presentation. Previously only available in 1.5mm thickness, now 3.2mm black-on-white acrylic has been added to the NZ catalog<\/a> and 3mm black-on-white and white-on-black acrylic to the USA catalog<\/a> for even more design options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re making jewelry<\/a>, electronics enclosures<\/a> or signs<\/a>, the contrast two-color acrylics provides not only visually organizes information but also grabs attention and creates focus. Perfect! But how?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrast is one of the key principles of design<\/a> (in addition to alignment, hierarchy, balance, repetition, proximity, balance, color and space). While contrast is critical for successful designs in print and online, it\u2019s especially important when it comes to laser cutting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, makers would have to painstakingly hand paint details<\/a> onto jewelry and other small parts to get a striking contrast. But since the introduction of two-color acrylics, achieving a sharp finish requires waaaay less work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two-Color Acrylic For Jewelry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to making jewelry with two-color acrylic, it\u2019s all about the laser engraving<\/a>. Just look at the precision of the floral design on this heart pendant. The detail is incredible. Plus, it\u2019s consistent\u2014an important consideration if you\u2019re making a product to sell<\/a>. And with the new thicker sheets, pieces are more substantial and can command a higher price point\u2014meaning more profit for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3mm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s clear that a high level of detail can be\nachieved when laser engraving two-color acrylic. But how do simple cuts and\ngeometric shapes turn out? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this example using white-on-black acrylic, the left side shows a combo of laser cutting + area engraving while the right is laser cutting only. Once engraved, the black has a somewhat softer grey appearance. This is inherent to the engraving process, which tends to create a frosty finish. Additionally, white-on-black acrylic tends to get some dark flaring on the white surface that may need to be cleaned off (as we have done here). What\u2019s really interesting in the right pendant is the sense of depth that is created with the black edges, giving the piece a three-dimensional appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3mm<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, black-on-white acrylic tends to have greater contrast when engraved. As with the above example, we laser cut + area engraved the thicker sheet on the left and only laser cut right. Since the underneath color is white, note that the frostiness of the engraving doesn\u2019t cause color issues like how the black was muted to a grey above. Also, the low melting point on this material means internal cuts can have a little bit of the lower color come through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3mm<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Two-Color Acrylic For Electronics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When building engineering projects<\/a>, using thicker two-color acrylic not only gives you the opportunity to have detailed engraving designs, but it also results in a more substantial, stronger box or panel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out this Stacking Pi Case<\/a>, for example. Sure, all those slotted parts would look nice in a solid acrylic, but it\u2019s so much sweeter with white-on-black acrylic where the black edges and definition in the engraving makes the case distinctive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3mm<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since electronics often need labeling, custom\npanels are one of the most popular laser cutter projects. Customer Volker\nRitzka designed this Tomato Tent panel to professionally customize the back of\na grow lamp control box. The holes are for snap-in connectors, and the long\nslits are for cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3mm<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Unless you\u2019re a robot, digital sound files must be converted to analog wave files for human ears to hear the resonance of a voice, the reverberation of a guitar or the roar of a crowd. Whether you find nirvana<\/a> with Kurt Cobain\u2019s angst or Sheryl Crow makes you happy<\/a>, having a properly labeled DAC<\/a> (like this one laser cut and engraved from white-on-black acrylic) will ensure you can still rock in America<\/a> (or wherever you live).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3mm<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Two-Color Acrylic For Signage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A lot goes into typography design<\/a>, especially when designing signs. Serif. San serif. Kerning. Line space. Alignment. Deciding between fonts that communicate masculinity vs. femininity, modern vs. retro, professional vs. casual, serious vs. whimsical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typography establishes a visual identity and expresses personality. So when your designs incorporate wordplay, think about how you can use thicker two-color acrylic to your advantage to showcase your message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the strongest contrast, nothing packs a\npunch and communicates more clearly than black-on-white acrylic, as can be seen\nin this directional sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3mm<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Logos and symbols work equally as well, as\ndemonstrated by this recycling symbol using black-on-white acrylic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3mm<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But what if you need a more subtle approach?\nWhite-on-black acrylic still has excellent readability but with a softer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Available: Thicker Two-Color Acrylic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Two-color acrylics are super versatile and have\na number of benefits. Because the top layer is engraved away, the bottom layer\nof the acrylic is revealed. This results in excellent readability because the\nprecision of the laser cutting gives the illusion that the graphic and\nlettering work is printed. Thus, two-color acrylics are ideal for products that need text or\ngraphics along with the unique shape achieved with laser cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two-color\nacrylics are also manufactured with a UV-resistant additive. So while there\nwill naturally be some fading with extended sun exposure, these acrylics hold\nup much better in UV light, making them quite durable for signage applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally,\nthis material is Microsurfaced\nImpact Modified Acrylics. This means it contains a small amount of polymer that\nis similar to rubber to give the acrylic extra strength and flexibility. As a\nresult, two-color acrylics are slightly more flexible and melt a bit more\nduring cutting than standard acrylics. This ability to be\nbent makes two-color acrylics particularly suitable for trophy plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3mm<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Maker Tip:<\/strong> When designing for this material, make sure the small details for cutting are a bit bigger than they would normally be constructed on standard acrylics. Also keep in mind that the top layer is very thin so the underlying substrate is sometimes visible along the cut line as well. This is most noticeable in corners or angles of designs, so prepare files accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Will You Laser Cut With Thicker Two-Color Acrylic?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With thicker two-color acrylic added to both the NZ and USA materials lineup, what will you make? Will you try your hand at jewelry, electronics enclosures or signage like we did, or will you branch out into name tags and event badges<\/a>, bookmarks<\/a> or something else? Jump into Adobe Illustrator<\/a> or Inkscape<\/a> and turn your inspiration into tangible ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
