Acrylic, on the other hand, cuts like butter up to 1/2" thicknesses.

If the laser can cut acrylic, there's a pretty good chance it'll be able to cut ABS with little trouble and Delrin with a bit of coercing. Similarly to polycarbonate, Delrin can begin to melt around the cut. We can get through 1/4" Delrin in a single pass, but for anything thicker, we'll usually run multiple low power passes instead of a single, powerful cut.

I'll look into that. I had no clue you could laser cut Delrin or ABS. Thanks Madison.
