Laser cutting machine makes acrylic play its best

Acrylic, commonly known as plexiglass and scientific name PMMA, is an important plastic polymer material developed earlier. It has crystal like transparency, soft light and clear vision. Acrylic colored with dyes has good color development effect. At the same time, it has better weather resistance, higher surface hardness and luster, and better high temperature performance.

Therefore, acrylic is often used as processing materials by many manufacturers, and plays a huge role in advertising, transportation, medicine, construction, lighting, craft gifts and other industries.

The new material acrylic has crystal like transparency, such as steel like hardness, how to shape a variety of acrylic products?

Traditional processing

Traditional machining generally adopts the way of mould pressing and mechanical cutting, but it belongs to rough machining, long production cycle and low machining accuracy. With the continuous improvement of product processing accuracy and product types, the traditional processing methods obviously can not meet the processing requirements of people.

laser processing

Nowadays, the laser cutting machine uses the flexible laser beam to process the hard acrylic without contact, and will not directly crush the material. The precision of the acrylic dimension of laser cutting can be within mm, the incision is smooth, and the product is more delicate. Because of the high precision of laser processing, no crack and smooth cut, there is no need for post-processing in general, and it can also produce patterns and shapes that can not be completed in the traditional way. Therefore, laser cutting has gradually become the most common way of acrylic cutting.

It is good to process acrylic material by laser cutting machine, but it will cause certain damage to human body, especially eyes. Therefore, in the process of using laser cutting machine to process workpieces, we must take protective measures, after all, human life safety is the most important.
