What is laser cutting and when to choose it?
Laser cutting is ideal for acrylic and thinner plastics: clean, polished edges and fine detail without tool pressure. For thick material, ACM, HPL or wood, CNC milling is often better. Milplex first checks your file for feasibility and advises the smartest route — reply within 1 business day.

What Milplex wants to know up front
These details prevent broad assumptions and make the quote more specific.
Edge quality is more predictable when material, thickness and protective film are known.
Account for heat sensitivity, small details and the difference between cut and engraving lines.
Vector lines deliver more reliable results than low-resolution images.
Suitable materials
- Acryl/plexiglas
- PET-G
- HIPS
- Signage plaatmateriaal
Technical watch-outs
Separate cut and engraving lines clearly; raster images do not replace vector lines.
- Separate cut lines, engraving lines and dimensions clearly.
- State indoor/outdoor use and desired edge quality.
- Ideal for displays, signage and presentation products.
Clean, flame-polished edges in acrylic and sheet
In suitable material, laser cutting produces a smooth, clear edge without post-processing. Material choice determines whether laser is the right route.

Common questions about this capability
Answers that help decide whether this route fits material, file and deadline.
Which capability fits my project best?
That depends on material, geometry, level of detail and volume. Milplex helps choose between laser cutting, CNC routing and engraving.
Can Milplex advise on tolerances and finishing?
Yes. During file review we look at cut-outs, edge finishing, material behaviour and production feasibility.
Can Milplex handle repeat production?
Yes. We support both prototypes and repeat production when material, planning and files are aligned.
