Reasons to Consider Laser Cutting Acrylic

Laser cutting acrylic comes with both advantages and disadvantages. The method a manufacturer chooses for cutting should be dependent on a few key factors (size of the material, complexity of the cut, and total budget). Knowing about the pros and cons of laser cutting helps individuals better navigate choices for building custom acrylic displays. Making the right choice for cutting is essential for getting the right products at the right cost.

The advantages of laser cutting include:

• Laser cutting is extremely accurate. Computers are programmed to make exact cuts. It is almost impossible to replicate the consistency of sophisticated laser cuts with other similar cutting techniques.
• Lasers completely cut through the material without contaminating the material. Laser cuts also reduced the need for post-cut finishing. Lasers make cuts that are smooth and clean.
• Laser cutting creates complex parts. Laser cutting technologies are controlled by computer programs that drastically lower production times.
• Laser cutting creates less material waste than other cutting methods.

It is essential to keep in mind that the benefits of laser cutting are usually more expensive than other similar cutting methods. The laser cutting process is complex and requires proper machinery and an adequate space. Our team designs and cuts acrylic based on exact design specifications.

  Acrylic has thermoplastic properties, which allow the product to be molded easly (with the help of heat). Glass and other plastics do not meet the same high thermoplastic properties. Acrylic is heated, and once hot it can be molded. When the material is mended to its proper shape, it is cooled and it hardens.
