• High-Speed Precision

    Our industrial CO2 laser systems deliver clean cuts for complex geometries with a positioning accuracy of ±0.1mm.

  • Non-Contact Process

    Laser cutting eliminates mechanical stress on the material, ensuring that thin polycarbonate films remain flat and distortion-free.

  • Intricate Detail

    Ideal for sharp internal corners and micro-scale details that are impossible to achieve with traditional CNC routing bits.

Laser Cutting vs. CNC Routing

Laser Cutting

  • Best For Films & Sheets < 6mm
  • Intricate Detail Exceptional
  • Tooling Cost None (Non-contact)
  • Edge Finish Matte / Slight Tint
  • Internal Corners Sharp / Zero Radius
BEST CHOICE FOR: Custom shapes, thin films, intricate decorative panels, and rapid low-cost prototyping.

CNC Routing

  • Best For Thick Sheets > 6mm
  • Intricate Detail Limited by Bit Size
  • Tooling Cost Bit Maintenance
  • Edge Finish Crystal Clear (Polished)
  • Edge Geometry Beveling & Tapping
BEST CHOICE FOR: Heavy-duty industrial parts, thick protective guards, and applications requiring polished optical edges.

Laser Cutting FAQ

Does laser cutting cause yellow or burnt edges on polycarbonate?

For polycarbonate thicker than 3mm, laser cutting typically produces a slight brownish or "toasted" edge due to the thermal nature of the laser. For parts requiring 100% crystal-clear edges, we recommend our CNC Routing service with vapor polishing.

What is the ideal thickness for laser cutting polycarbonate?

Laser cutting is most effective for thicknesses between 0.125mm and 6mm. It is the superior choice for thin films and overlays where traditional mechanical cutting might cause material shifting.

Do you remove the protective film before laser cutting?

No. We laser cut through the protective PE film to prevent surface scratches and minimize smoke residue on the sheet. We recommend peeling the film off only after final assembly.

What is the typical tolerance for laser-cut PC parts?

Our industrial CO2 laser systems achieve a positioning accuracy of ±0.1mm. However, due to the slight taper caused by the laser beam, verticality may vary slightly on thicker materials (above 5mm).

Can you laser cut Anti-scratch (AR) or Anti-static (ESD) sheets?

Yes. We can process coated polycarbonate sheets. While the laser will cut cleanly, the coating's properties at the immediate cut line may be altered. For high-precision AR applications, please consult our engineering team.

Can I request a laser-cut prototype before a bulk order?

Absolutely. Laser cutting has zero tooling costs, making it perfect for rapid prototyping. We can usually ship prototypes within 24-48 hours after receiving your .DXF or .AI files.
