Select your blank and create an Adobe Illustrator documents with the same dimensions as your selection.
Bases for mounting or displaying your work can also be made from these blanks.
For this process, it is recommended that you utilize color mapping to pre-mark holes using a template with the same dimensions as your selection.
If your mounting design is non-linear (i.e. a circular pattern) or needing high precision to assure proper alignment, than this process must be used.
Types of Acrylic – Cast and Extruded
Types of Acrylic – Cast and Extruded
Before beginning to experiment with acrylic in your laser, it’s important to understand the different types of this laser-friendly material. There are two types of acrylics suitable for use with the laser: cast and extruded.
Cast acrylic sheets are made from a liquid acrylic that is poured into molds that can be set into various shapes and sizes. This is the type of acrylic used for most of the awards you see on the market. Cast acrylic is ideal for engraving because it turns a frosty white color when engraved. Cast acrylic can be cut with a laser, but it will not result in flame-polished edges. This acrylic material is better suited for engraving.
The other type of acrylic is known as extruded acrylic, which is a very popular cutting material for signs and promotional products. Extruded acrylic is formed through a higher-volume manufacturing technique, so it is typically less expensive than cast, and it reacts very differently with the laser beam. Extruded acrylic will cut cleanly and smoothly and will have a flame-polished edge when laser cut. But when it is engraved, instead of a frosted look you will have a clear engraving.
