Hello Tomasz, thank you for your questions. Extruded acrylic has a much lower melting point than traditional cast acrylic, causing a sharp edge when laser cut as it melts more from the heat. You can reduce this by reducing the laser frequency to 1000hz; this will reduce the heat from the cutting process, producing a more negligible edge effect; the other option is to use cast acrylic. Best, your Trotec Laser Team
Absolutely brilliant and informative! Thanks Laser Dave
An inredible amount of information transported in this video - thanks a lot @Dave and Alan! 👍😎👍
How to avoid a sharp bur edge on both faces of the extruded acrylic after laser cut. Any recommended settings on 150W co2 laser for 3mm acrylic?
