Acrylic laser cutting

A BRM laser machine is an excellent choice for working with acrylic. Acrylic is a material widely used in the advertising industry.

Many possibilities with acrylic cutting

In the advertising industry, acrylic is primarily used for creating all kinds of different advertising materials. Acrylic is also a commonly used material for:

• aquariums,
• traffic signs,
• cabinet doors.

With a BRM laser machine, it is possible to cut and engrave acrylic with razor-sharp precision. No matter how complex your design is, with a BRM laser you can bring it to life in no time.

The alternative to glass

Acrylic is a commonly used substitute for glass, but it has a number of major advantages over glass. Acrylic is thirty times stronger than glass and is much easier to cut and engrave than glass, which can break easily during processing. At the same time, acrylic is just as transparent as glass. Because of these advantages, acrylic is increasingly being chosen. Traditional processing methods can cause scratches in the acrylic. With a BRM machine, this is a thing of the past. The laser processes the material completely without scratches. This ensures that you can have the most detailed designs engraved or cut out in acrylic without the design becoming unclear. Another useful property of acrylic glass is that, when broken, it does not shatter as much as normal glass. For this reason, plexiglass is often used as an alternative to glass in areas prone to vandalism.

Laser cutting machine for cutting acrylic

The best laser machine for working with acrylic is the BRM CO₂ laser. This machine has the correct wavelength and power, making it the most suitable choice for both cutting and engraving acrylic. With the BRM CO₂ laser, it is possible to engrave every conceivable shape and pattern into acrylic. Furthermore, cutting with a laser machine ensures that the quality of the cut edge remains consistent over time. Traditional methods use blades that become blunt, causing a decline in quality and accuracy. In this respect, using a BRM laser machine offers a significant advantage over the old process. No design is too complex for the CO₂ laser!

Have you always wanted to put that particular text or image on a piece of plexiglass? Then using a CO₂ laser machine from BRM Lasers is an excellent option. The CNC control with servo motors enables very high positioning accuracy.

Using the same machine, you can first cut this material to the correct shape and thickness. The result is a plexiglass sign with beautifully smooth edges that requires no further finishing.

The colour of the engraving in the acrylic is white. For attractive contrasts and effects, you can use coloured Plexiglas as a background. Transparent acrylic can be combined with LED lighting to create special effects. This makes your advertising sign stand out even better in the dark. No pre- or post-treatment of the material is required for acrylic laser cutting.
