Identifying Acrylic
Acrylic is also known as PMMA or plexiglass, the
scientific name is polymethyl methacrylate. It is one of
the few plastics that can be processed by laser. Before
processing, it is important to distinguish whether it
is acrylic or other transparent plastic materials (PVC,
PC), which are not suitable for laser processing. When
processed on, the edges of the acrylic are sharp and
clear. If you see yellowish burn marks, the material
is not acrylic. However, if no burn marks are seen, it
doesn’t prove that the material is acrylic.
