Laser Cutting

Laser cutting produces the most intricate parts. More fabricators are turning to laser cutting as prices of laser equipment drop.

A special masking for laser cutting acrylic sheet such as TPA does not fuse to the product. If the sheet comes with paper or polyethylene masking, it is still recommended to leave it on while laser cutting to prevent damage. Since lasers leave highly-stressed edges, the sheet should be annealed to minimize the chance of crazing during the part's service life.
