Acrylic Laser Cutting is a technology highly used for high precision processing of acrylic regardless of the materials’ shape and thickness. The application of this beam cutting come with a host of benefits. It involves cutting materials via a laser ray that does not affect the chemical composition of the material. This laser cutting process allows for the highest precision and do not require any treatment of the material after cutting.
Benefits
Acrylic laser cutting beat the conventional cutting methods to be the most effective technique for the cutting and engraving details on delicate surfaces such as Acrylite, Glass surfaces, Perspex, Quinn, Plazit and Plexiglas. This method is a non-contact, a feature that saves time, labor and costs as no clamping is required before cutting the materials. In fact, one person only can handle up to five acrylic laser cutters, which saves the costs of labor in the production process. When engraving images, this beam cutting technique achieves a perfect high detailed engraving. It also gives the designers a chance to vary their designs on any material with great ease.
Using this laser cutter is the perfect solution when handling very delicate materials that require the highest level of precision. Using this cutting process, you can cut minute shapes with excellent precision of up to a tenth of a millimeter. The safety of such material is assured since the laser cutting allow both cutting and engraving to occur simultaneously. The designer can engrave any photos details on surfaces without breaking them. The smooth cutting ensures that the inner edges achieves a perfect final cut with a
final fine polish.
Neatness of the working place is a surety when using this cutting technique as the laser beams leaves no shavings from the cutting process. The acrylic loose cuttings undergoes an explosive evaporation leaving no traces behind. The neatness is for life as the beams used in processing materials is not subject to the wear and tear, thus eliminating the cost of replacing the cutter.
Application of acrylic cutting
The benefits accruing to the use of this cutting method and the ease of use with many materials makes it possible to apply acrylic laser cutting to a wide range of applications. Some of the areas of application include the advertising technologies for the development of both outdoor and indoor signage, digital printing and for the construction of exhibition and shop displays. The construction industry uses this cutting for architectural modelling. In the retail sector, this laser processing plays a great role in developing point of sale materials.
