ACM milling, sawing or laser cutting?

ACM milling, sawing or laser cutting?

Milling is the standard for ACM: clean contours, cut-outs and V-groove for crisp folded edges. Sawing is fast for straight panels; laser cutting is rarely suitable for ACM due to the aluminium core. We pick the route by shape, size and application — reply within 1 business day.

For aluminium composite (ACM) you usually choose between milling and sawing; laser cutting is generally not suitable because of the aluminium top layer. Milling suits contours, cut-outs, V-grooves for folding and shaping. Sawing is logical for straight panels to size without shaping: fast and dimensionally accurate.

Send your design and the application (signage, facade work, panels). Milplex advises per project which ACM route fits on edge quality, shape and size.
