1、 The main application areas of acrylic laser processing
Advertising and Decoration Industry
Luminous characters and signs: The CO ? laser cutting machine can quickly cut acrylic sheets with smooth and burr free edges, suitable for making advertising light boxes, three-dimensional signs, etc., and supports complex graphic designs (such as hollow patterns).
Craft gifts: Through laser engraving technology, fine patterns or text can be made on acrylic surfaces, such as trophies, display stands, etc. UV laser marking machines are particularly suitable for high-precision marking (such as QR codes, serial numbers), with lines up to micrometer level.
Industrial and Furniture Manufacturing
3D Stereoscopic Model: Automated production of complex 3D structures, such as 3D puzzles, furniture decorations, etc., can be achieved by cutting acrylic sheets in layers and stacking and bonding them together.
Transparent chassis and packaging box: The high-precision characteristics of the laser cutting machine ensure seamless splicing of transparent acrylic components, meeting the needs of electronic device casings or high-end packaging.
Personalized customization and cultural and creative products
Using laser engraving technology, personalized patterns, text, or gradient effects can be achieved on acrylic, suitable for customized chemical products, lighting fixtures, etc.

2、 Technical solution for acrylic laser processing
Equipment selection and parameter optimization
Cutting equipment:
CO ? laser cutting machine: suitable for acrylic with a thickness ≤ 25mm, with a power of usually 60-300W, a cutting speed of up to 60m/min, and a positioning accuracy of ± 0.05mm. It is recommended to use imported high-power lasers (such as 150W or above) for thick plates to improve cutting quality.
UV laser machine: more suitable for ultra-thin materials (such as below 2mm) or high-precision cutting needs, with a small heat affected zone and finer cutting seams.
Marking equipment:
UV laser marking machine: The marking effect is white atomization, without chemical pollution, suitable for permanent markings such as logos and anti-counterfeiting codes.
Carbon dioxide laser marking machine: Low cost, but rough marking effect, suitable for scenarios with low precision requirements.
Process parameter setting
Matching cutting speed and power: Low speed (such as below 3 meters per minute) combined with medium to low power (80-100W) can reduce acrylic edge melting; High speed cutting requires an appropriate increase in power to avoid deformation.
Gas assisted: Compressed air or nitrogen blowing is used to reduce smoke residue during the cutting process and improve edge smoothness.
Optimization of material adaptability
There are many impurities in domestic acrylic, which can easily produce bubbles or yellow edges. It is recommended to use imported materials or adjust laser parameters (such as reducing power and increasing speed).
Transparent acrylic needs to pay attention to laser refraction, which can be achieved by adjusting the focal length or using specialized fixtures to fix the material.
Maintenance and safety measures
Daily maintenance: Regularly clean the reflector and focusing mirror, add lubricating oil to the guide rail, adjust the tightness of the synchronous belt to avoid affecting accuracy due to dust accumulation.
Laser tube maintenance: Add vinegar to the circulating cooling water to remove scale and extend the life of the laser tube.

3 Future Trends and Innovation Directions
Intelligent control: Integrated ERP quality management system to achieve equipment status monitoring and automatic optimization of process parameters.
Composite processing technology: Combining cutting and carving functions, integrated processing is achieved through layered output data to improve efficiency.
Environmental upgrade: Optimize the design of the exhaust system, reduce processing waste gas emissions, and comply with green manufacturing standards.
Through the above scheme, non-metallic laser machines can achieve efficient, high-precision, and diversified applications in acrylic processing, meeting the dual needs of industrial mass production and personalized customization. The specific equipment selection needs to be comprehensively considered based on material thickness, processing accuracy, and budget. It is recommended to contact the manufacturer to obtain sample testing data.
