Features, benefits and uses of acrylic

Acrylic is suitable for laser cutting and engraving, provided it doesn’t contain PVC in its composition. It’s available in a wide range of thicknesses, from 2 mm to 30 mm, and can be purchased from specialist plastic suppliers, signage shops, DIY stores and various online retailers.

Types of acrylic, with endless uses and applications thanks to the Atheon series laser cutting and engraving

Depending on the laser technology used, different types of acrylic can be chosen:

OKU Desk diode laser: ideal for engraving and cutting opaque acrylic, except for white. For engraving, a coating is often required to mark the material effectively.

The OKU Desk laser cutting and engraving machine works on opaque acrylic

CO2 laser of the Atheon series: more powerful machines that allow you to work with acrylic in all colours, including transparent ones. No coating is needed for engraving and, depending on the power, it can cut acrylic up to 20 mm thick.

The CO2 laser from the Atheon series allows work on acrylic in all colours, including transparent

Additionally, based on the project's requirements, you can choose between cast acrylic –achieving better engraving quality and higher contrast– and extruded acrylic –less expensive with lower contrast in the finish–.
