Materials & Thickness Guide

Internal production limits for flat cutting.

Typical in-house CO₂-compatible materials for cutting and engraving

Plastics

  • Acrylic (PMMA) — cast & extruded, up to 30 mm.
  • PETG — 1–10 mm.
  • ABS — 1–6 mm.
  • Foam PVC — 1–10 mm.
  • Polycarbonate — thin gauge only.
  • Delrin / Acetal — limited thickness.

Timber & Boards

  • Plywood (non-marine) — up to ~12 mm.
  • MDF — up to ~12 mm.
  • Bamboo panels.

  • EVA foam.
  • Laser-safe rubber & gasket sheet.
  • Card and paperboard.
  • Packaging inserts.

Why choose this service?

Exceptional edge quality

Polished edges on acrylic and crisp details on plastics and timber, straight off the machine.

Perfect for signage & interiors

Ideal for letters, logos, lightbox faces, feature panels and internal architectural finishes.

No tooling, fast changes

Update artwork or dimensions without waiting on jigs, dies or CNC tooling.

Cost-effective for short runs

Low setup overhead and efficient nesting keep total job cost down, even on mixed part runs.

Consistent, repeatable results

Digital files drive the process — parts match between batches and across rollouts.

Trade-ready workflow

We understand deadlines, site dates and rollouts — with clear tolerances and predictable lead times.

More about CO₂ laser cutting

Open the items below for detailed guidance on CO₂ laser cutting of acrylic, plastics, timber and foam, and best practice for flat parts used in signage, displays and packaging.

A CO₂ laser uses an infrared beam absorbed extremely well by acrylic, timber, paper and many plastics. The result is a fine kerf and very smooth edge, with the energy focused only where the cut is needed. Compared to CNC routing, there’s no tool wear, no bit chatter and far less dust — making it ideal for detailed internal shapes, small text and intricate logos.

In-house we typically cut: acrylic up to around 30 mm, foam PVC up to 10 mm, PETG 1–10 mm, ABS 1–6 mm, and non-marine plywood/MDF up to ~12 mm. EVA foams and many rubber gasket materials also cut extremely well. Some plastics (notably PVC and unknown composites) are not laser-safe — if you’re unsure, ask our team to confirm before supplying sheet.

For most CO₂ laser jobs, allow minimum feature sizes around material thickness and keep very fine details supported by enough material so they don’t become fragile. Hole-to-edge distance ≈ 1× material thickness works well for plastics and timber. Typical dimensional tolerances are ±0.1–0.3 mm depending on material and part size. We compensate for kerf in nesting so your cut parts match the CAD.

Pricing is driven by material, thickness, cut length, engraving area (if used), nesting efficiency and quantity. Mixed nests of multiple parts are usually more economical than many separate small jobs. Typical dispatch is 1–5 business days after artwork approval, with rush options available for time-critical signage, events and retail rollouts.

Our CO₂ laser cutting service in Sydney is built for signmakers, joiners, shopfitters, designers, and manufacturers who need clean acrylic and plastic parts with tight repeatability. By combining smart nesting with dialled-in cut settings for each material, we produce parts that often go straight into assembly, illumination or installation with minimal hand finishing.

Typical applications include acrylic letters and logos, lightbox faces, display panels, POS units, decorative screens, wayfinding signage, packaging inserts, jigs and interior feature elements. We work with everyone from design studios and agencies through to fabricators, printers, and end users who need a production partner.

Whether you need a single prototype display or a full rollout of laser-cut panels, CO₂ laser cutting is usually the most efficient way to produce flat plastic and timber components with premium edge quality.

FAQ

DXF / DWG / AI / SVG / PDF (vector). Keep geometry clean, closed and 1:1 in mm. Outline all text and remove duplicate or overlapping lines.

No. Standard interior/exterior plywoods are usually fine. Marine-grade BS1088 and similar must be CNC routed due to glue and resin content.

Typical production parts are ±0.1–0.3 mm depending on material, thickness and part size. We can advise tighter tolerances for critical features.

Our CO₂ bed size is up to 1200 × 900 mm. Larger pieces can often be split into tiles and joined on site or in fabrication.

Yes. We stock common acrylics, plastics, boards and foams, or we can cut from customer-supplied sheets where suitable and safe.

Typical dispatch is 1–5 business days after artwork approval. Rush options may be available depending on material and workload.
