Laser cutting is a subtractive manufacturing technology that uses a high-power laser beam to cut flat-sheet materials, such as acrylic. A computer directs this laser to follow the cutting line provided in your digital design. The high-precision laser vaporizes a cut line through the acrylic, leaving a 90-degree high-quality cut-edge finish.
Laser engraving acrylic is similar, but instead of using the laser beam to cut through the acrylics, it engraves the acrylic surface. Following the engraving line or area in your digital design, the laser vaporizes a thin layer of the acrylic plastics surface, exposing what lies beneath. For acrylic, the resulting finish is a frosted line or area.
You can laser cut and engrave your designs in acrylic sheets using your very own personal factory.
