Laser cutting machine is the ideal choice for engraving and cutting acrylic materials, so it is very common in the advertising industry. So what should I pay attention to when operating an acrylic laser cutting machine?

 

1. Cutting acrylic is usually best achieved with relatively slow speed and high power. This cutting process allows the laser beam to melt the edges of the acrylic and essentially produce a flame-polished edge.

2. When engraving acrylic, generally the effect will be better at high speed and low power. It doesn’t take much laser power to mark the acrylic, and if your power is too high you’ll notice some distortion in the material.

3. Never leave your machine unattended when working with acrylic. Many materials are susceptible to igniting, but acrylic has been shown to be especially flammable when cut with the laser. As a general rule, you should never run your laser - using any material - if you are not present.

 

If your work shop or home shop needs to process acrylic materials, then choosing a CO2 laser cutting machine is an important step to improve shop efficiency.
