Signage

Laser cutters are popular with companies who make signs for several reasons. Firstly unlike a traditional router laser cutters gives a flame polished edge to acrylic, eliminating the need to flame polish after cutting. Then there is the intricacy of the cut, you can cut very fine detail and as the material does not have to be clamped there is very little waste, you can leave a gap as little as 1mm between objects and cut right up to the edge.
