Acrylic laser cutting is an industrial procedure used to create pieces of plastic to precise specifications. An intense light beam is used to slice dense plastic sheets. The computer that controls the laser has diagrams programmed into it. Although numerous kinds of plastic cutting equipment exists, cutting with a laser is ideal for dense acrylic, due to the smooth edges it produces. CO2 lasers are most common in industrial environments.
Normally, there are a couple of key components to laser machines that are designed to cut acrylic: the laser head, which generates the laser, and the clamps or table that hold the acrylic. The way that these components are used together varies from one machine to the next. There are a few typical machine settings that influence how this material is sliced by lasers. These are hybrid configuration, flying optics and moving material.
