Materials suitable for laser engraving and cutting
Acrylic (PMMA) is ideal for laser processing projects such as illuminated advertisements, signage, point of sales displays and more. Without any additional post-processing, the laser cuts result in shiny, flame polished edges. Panels up to 25 mm thick can be cut efficiently and cost-effectively. Acrylic can be engraved to create a matted finish with the CO2 laser, or marked to create a color change with the fiber laser.
Suitable materials for laser cutting and engraving
- Plexiglas®
- Altuglas®
- Acrylite®
- TroGlass
- Madre Perla®
- Plazit®
- Perspex®
- Quinn®
- Oroglas®
- Plaskolite®

- Advertising technology
- Digital printing
- Shop and exhibition stand construction
- Architectural model construction
- Displays
- POS materials
- Letters
- Outdoor and indoor signs
- Acrylic trophies
Why should I buy a laser for acrylic cutting?
Flame-polished cutting edges without additional post-processing of materials: Due to significantly lower processing costs, acrylic processing with laser technology is up to 88% less expensive than processing with a milling cutter (processing time for tensioning and post-processing of the material, tools).
Function and advantages of laser technology
Flame-polished cutting edges without additional post-processing
- Time and cost-intensive manual polishing of the matte cutting edge is eliminated
Advantages of a Trotec laser
- Precise axis drives and intelligent air flow ensure optimal cutting results
Faster cuts
- Compared to milling cutters, laser cutting is 2-3 times faster depending on the power output used
Advantages of a Trotec laser
- Carefully designed beam paths and sophisticated path planning
Non-contact processing
- No time-consuming fixating of materials in comparison to milling cutters
- No warping of the material
Advantages of a Trotec laser
- Multifunctional table concept for easy handling
Fine tools
- Small shapes and radiuses can be cut to a tenth of a millimeter
Advantages of a Trotec laser
- Ideal optics and beam performance
No tool wear
- No wear of the laser beam from the material processing
- No costs for new tools unlike milling cutters
Advantages of a Trotec laser
- CeramiCore laser sources with a particularly long service life
No shavings
- The acrylic is explosively evaporated by the laser. No shavings are produced unlike other technologies.
Advantages of a Trotec laser
- The resulting gases are efficiently removed and filtered out by the Trotec exhaust systems.
Characteristic and productive engravings
- Engraving produces a high-quality matting effect on the surface, which acts as a decorative element
- There is no need for time-consuming "cleaning." Unlike standard milling cutters, the laser engraving is achieved within seconds
Advantages of a Trotec laser
- Speedy series: The fastest laser engravers available on the market with a maximum engraving speed of 4.2 m/sec and an acceleration of 5g.
Cast PMMA is cut without burrs
- The need for time-consuming deburring is eliminated
Advantages of a Trotec laser
- Optimal beam performance and high-quality optical components create perfect laser cuts
Simple digital manufacturing
- Designs are created in your usual graphics program and sent to the printer via the printer command
Advantages of a Trotec laser
- JobControl® laser software: Simply intuitive. Work efficiently.
