CUSTOM LASER CUTTING, ENGRAVING, AND MARKING

Picture
LASER CUT: The laser beam cuts completely through material along the designated path, creating polished, high quality edges. 
We can cut Paper, wood, acrylic, ABS, delrin, cloth, leather, matte board, Mylar, fabrics, cardboard and more.
Picture
LASER ENGRAVE The laser beam vaporizes material to a user-controlled depth, creating a flat surface with a high quality finish.
We can engrave anything we can cut PLUS Brick, glass, marble, slate, granite, and anodized aluminum. 
Picture
LASER MARKING: The laser beam modifies the material surface, creating permanent marks without removing material or impacting surface integrity.
          Our Lasers mark metal items using CERMARK.

Acrylic (Plexiglass) 

Plexiglass (acrylic) is a versatile material that has great impact strength yet is light weight with exceptional optical quality. Acrylic (plexiglass) is 10 times stronger than glass and half the weight.

It is widely used for a number of applications such as cut lettering for signage, engraved edge lit signs, back-lighting,  glazing, displays, picture framing, custom computer cases, aquarium tanks, and much more. 

We process a LOT of Acrylic. We can cut up to 1/2" thick acrylic and can engrave any piece that fits in our lasers.  
We are now carrying quite a few colors to make your custom parts. These are all cast acrylics and available in a variety of thicknesses including  1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2"

Transparent colored plexiglass is capable of passing light through the material making it possible to see through. 


White #3015 is classified as an opaque plexiglass acrylic sheet.  Opaque sheets transmit either a negligible amount of light or no light at all.


White #7328 is a solid sheet, but will allow some light through.  There are many uses for white #7328.  It is an excellent material for applications that need to be back lit, such as back lighted signs or displays.

White #2447 will also allow some light through (more than white #7328).  White #2447 is often used for applications that need to be back lit, but which need more light to transmit through the material (for example: photo light tables, lighted drawing tables, x-ray chart readers, overhead lights, skylights).

Non glare P99 plexiglass has a matte finish on one side to reduce glare which makes it very popular for picture framing and poster framing.  The matte finish diffuses light striking the surface which helps to reduce glare.  For best results, the sheet must be placed against or a small distance away from the picture or artwork. This is not a window glass.  

Frosted acrylic sheet is a great choice for applications that require light diffusing.  Back lighting alters it look and helps to hide hot spots

Acrylic Mirror is light weight and ten times stronger than glass.  It is an excellent choice when safety is a consideration.  Unlike regular glass, acrylic mirror does not shatter into small sharp pieces when broken.
