Acrylic Laser Cutter
The Acrylic Laser Cutting Machine is specifically designed for both cutting and engraving acrylic.
It comes in a variety of working table sizes, ranging from 600mm x 400mm to 1300mm x 900mm, and even up to 1300mm x 2500mm.
Our acrylic laser cutters are versatile enough to handle a wide range of applications, including signs, furniture, crafts, lightboxes, and medical instruments. With high precision and fast cutting speeds, these machines greatly enhance productivity in acrylic processing.
Laser Cutting Acrylic: Thickness to Cutting Speed Reference Sheet
What would be your Application?
For Acrylic Thickness: 3mm - 15mm
For home use, hobby, or beginner, the F-1390 is a good choice with a compact size and excellent cutting and engraving capacity.
For Acrylic Thickness: 20mm - 30mm
For mass production and industrial use, the F-1325 is more suitable, with higher cutting speed and a larger working format.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Acrylic Laser Cutting
To prevent burn marks when laser cutting acrylic, use a suitable working table, such as a knife strip or pin table.

This minimizes contact with the acrylic and helps avoid back reflections that can cause burns.
Additionally, reducing the airflow during the cutting process can keep the edges clean and smooth.
Since laser parameters significantly impact the cutting results, it's best to conduct tests before the actual cutting.
Compare the outcomes to determine the most effective settings for your project.
Yes, laser cutters are very effective for engraving on acrylic.
By adjusting the laser power, speed, and frequency, you can achieve both engraving and cutting in a single pass.
This method allows for the creation of intricate designs, text, and images with high precision.
Laser engraving on acrylic is versatile and commonly used for various applications, including signage, awards, decorations, and personalized products.
To minimize fumes when laser cutting acrylic, it's important to use effective ventilation systems.
Good ventilation helps quickly remove fumes and debris, keeping the acrylic surface clean.
For cutting thinner acrylic sheets, such as those with a thickness of 3mm or 5mm, applying masking tape to both sides of the sheet before cutting can help prevent dust and residue from accumulating on the surface.
CNC routers use a rotating cutting tool to physically remove material, making them suitable for thicker acrylic (up to 50mm), although they often require additional polishing.
In contrast, laser cutters use a laser beam to melt or vaporize the material, providing higher precision and cleaner edges without the need for polishing. This method is best for thinner acrylic sheets (up to 20-25mm).
In terms of cutting quality, the fine laser beam of a laser cutter results in more precise and cleaner cuts compared to CNC routers. However, when it comes to cutting speed, CNC routers are generally faster than laser cutters.
For engraving acrylic, laser cutters outperform CNC routers, delivering superior results.

Yes, you can laser cut oversized acrylic signage with a laser cutter, but it depends on the machine's bed size.
Our smaller laser cutters have pass-through capabilities, enabling you to work with larger materials that exceed the bed size.
For wider and longer acrylic sheets, we offer a large-format laser cutting machine with a working area of 1300mm x 2500mm, making it easy to handle large acrylic signage.
