Different Types of Acrylic
- Laser Engraving: Cast acrylic results in a frosted appearance, ideal for low power engraving. Engraving extruded acrylic gives a matte grey finish. However, cast acrylic sheets can vary in thickness.
- Laser Cutting: Cutting extruded acrylic provides a cleaner edge, similar to flame-polished glass, and is usually less expensive than cast. Cast acrylic, when cut, has a rougher edge but offers a distinctive white contrast when engraved.
Safety Considerations
Note that acrylic often comes with a protective paper mask, which should be removed for laser processing to avoid emitting hazardous fumes.
