Hi all,
Im looking for recommendations for a material to be used in laser cutting, preferably a kind of plastic, which has a few characteristics.
Namely:
*Easy and quick to cut - one that even a low power laser will make short work of
*Fairly flexible but also maintaining stiffness and memory (much like thin ply)
*A nice finish.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Nick
One good candidate for this could be copolyester. It's a clear flexible plastic that can be cut very rapidly by a laser cutter. The material can burn slightly so even then the settings are correct it will have a slightly beveled edge but that's not really noticeable with the naked eye.
I think art supply places might have this otherwise try here (Stephen Webster Plastics):
