Acrylic laser cutting and engraving
The laser gives perfect cuts, even on complex shapes, and leaves the part completely finished with polished edges. With the same equipment we engrave logos, text and images in fine detail.
Our laser cutting capacity
We have two CO2 laser cutting machines, so we can handle any part with precision and quality:
- Maximum working area: 1400 × 1320 mm.
- Cuts acrylic up to 15 mm thick.
- Laser engraving on parts up to 220 mm.
The laser works from a digital design: a computer sends the drawing to the machine and the beam follows the pattern exactly. That means we can produce as many parts as your project needs, safe in the knowledge that they will all be identical.
Laser cutting: polished edges with no rework
Laser cutting melts the material along the cut line and leaves the acrylic edge glossy and polished, with no need for further polishing. It also makes light work of shapes that would be difficult with a saw: curves, internal cut-outs, holes and very small parts.
Laser engraving: permanent and detailed
Engraving wears away the surface of the acrylic, leaving the engraved area frosted and white. Even on black acrylic, the engraving comes out white. It is a permanent mark: it cannot be rubbed off and resists abrasion.
For engraving, cast acrylic is the better choice, as the mark shows up more clearly; for cutting, cast and extruded behave the same. We explain why in cast or extruded acrylic.
What we make with the laser
- Awards and trophies cut to shape and engraved, from a single unit.
- Plaques and signage, two-ply ABS identification plates and front panels.
- Control panels and machine fascias with laser cutting and UV printing.
- Displays, card holders and brochure holders that are then bent by thermoforming.
- Personalised items for hospitality: napkin holders, menu holders, signs and cone holders.
Materials for laser work
As well as acrylic, we laser-cut and engrave two-ply ABS (Gravoply), wood and other materials.
Laser or router?
The laser gives polished edges and fine engraving; the CNC router is better for large thicknesses, recesses and joints. We compare them in laser engraving or CNC engraving and on our CNC machining service page.
Request a quote
Send us your design (for production we need it as a vector file: DXF, AI, EPS or vector PDF), the thickness and the quantity.
Looking for a standard engraved block or plaque? You will find them at Crilato, our online shop (in Spanish).
