Professional Custom Acrylic Signs — Laser Cut in Los Angeles in Los Angeles
CO₂ lasers vaporize acrylic cleanly, producing flame-polished edges on cast acrylic that often need zero post-processing. Cast acrylic (PMMA) has a higher molecular weight than extruded, which means the laser beam melts and vaporizes it more uniformly, leaving glass-clear edges. Extruded acrylic melts at a lower temperature, which can cause slightly gummier edges but cuts faster.
We shape acrylic in thicknesses from 1/16" to 3/4". Avoid polycarbonate (Lexan) on CO₂ lasers — it discolors and produces toxic fumes.

Extruded acrylic melts at a lower temperature, which can cause slightly gummier edges but cuts faster. For edge-lit LED applications, use cast clear acrylic and engrave at lower power for maximum light diffusion.
