Acrylic (also known as PMMA or plexiglass) is a type of plastic polymer material with the chemical name polymethyl methacrylate. It is an important early development in plastic materials. Acrylic is known for its good transparency, chemical stability, weather resistance, ease of dyeing, and simple processing.
Additionally, it has an attractive appearance and a wide range of applications in industry. Its products typically come in the form of cast sheets, extruded sheets, and molded plastics. For marking or cutting acrylic sheets with lasers, we provide a user-friendly guide to address all your questions about acrylic and other laser applications. Once you learn how to use a laser cutting machine or laser marking machine effectively, your creative imagination will become a reality!

Acrylic material type
Type of Plexiglass (Acrylic) Sheet: There are many types of acrylic sheet specifications. Common boards include: transparent board, dyed transparent board, opal board, and color board. Special boards include: bathroom board, cloud board, mirror board, sandwich board, hollow board, impact board, flame retardant board, super wear-resistant plate, surface pattern board, frosted board, pearlescent board, metal effect board, and more. Each type offers different performance characteristics, colors, and visual effects to meet ever-changing requirements.
The Application of Laser on Acrylic Materials
Marking: UV lasers are effective for acrylic materials due to their small focus spot and minimal heat-affected zone, allowing for ultrafine marking and special material marking. This is particularly beneficial for customers who require higher-quality marking effects for their products. Besides copper, UV lasers can process a wider range of materials. They have excellent beam quality, produce smaller focused spots, and enable hyperfine marking across various applications. The heat-affected area is minimal, preventing thermal effects and material burning issues. Additionally, these lasers offer fast marking speeds and high efficiency. The machine boasts stable performance, compact size, and low power consumption. UV laser marking machines, with their unique low-power laser beams, are especially suitable for ultra-fine processing in markets such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and other polymer material packaging. They provide clear and durable markings that outperform ink coding and produce zero pollution. Applications include flexible PCB board marking and scribing, silicon wafer microhole and blind hole processing, and LCD glass two-dimensional code marking.glassware surface punching, metal surface coating marking, plastic keys, electronic components, gifts, communication equipment, building materials and so on.
Cutting machine: Through the ultra-high heat generated by the micron laser, the non-metallic material is vaporized to achieve the purpose of cutting. The equipment is not only for acrylic processing, like the two-color version of the advertising industry, PVC version and so on. There are many kinds of acrylic materials, plexiglass cut out very smooth, specific applications are acrylic signs, plexiglass trophies, luminous word production, crystal word production, plexiglass display stand, transparent chassis, packaging box and so on.
The best laser for acrylic processing
The best laser for acrylic processing is the UV laser, which is primarily used in advanced research, development, and industrial manufacturing equipment. It is widely utilized in biotechnology, medical equipment, and disinfection devices that require ultraviolet light radiation. DPSS UV lasers based on Nd:YAG/Nd:YVO4 crystals are an excellent choice for micromachining systems and are commonly used in printed circuit boards and consumer electronics.
Regarding carbon dioxide lasers, they are highly efficient, with a conversion efficiency of up to 10%. As a commercial laser, carbon dioxide lasers can reach power levels of up to 45 kilowatts, making them the most powerful lasers for material processing currently available.
