Questions and answers
Straight answers to the questions we get most often about this topic.
How does laser cutting differ from CNC milling?
Laser: thin materials up to 10 mm, a polished edge, fast vector cutting. CNC: thickness up to 50 mm, a tolerance of ±0.05 mm, chamfering, drilling and pocket milling.
What acrylic thickness can be laser cut?
Up to 20 mm in PMMA as standard. Above 10 mm the edge quality drops, so for thicker sheets we recommend CNC milling.
Does the laser leave marks on acrylic?
The polished edge is the main advantage — with the right settings there are no burn marks. Flat surfaces can pick up light scratches from the extraction airflow.
