Material decision guide · 8 records

Acrylic

Compare CNC, diode and CO₂ workflows for acrylic cutting, engraving and edge finish.

Decision 01

CO₂ lasers can process clear acrylic; common blue-diode lasers generally cannot cut it.

Decision 02

CNC routing can work across acrylic colors but needs suitable tooling and chip control.

Decision 03

Never process unidentified plastic because fumes can be hazardous.
