Re: Polycarbonate/Plexiglass Ruling
You laser cut acrylic and you are a hero. You laser cut ABS and you poison the entire shop with cyanide gas. (For real though when lasercuting know the material safety properties.)

Re: Polycarbonate/Plexiglass Ruling
This is why above our laser cutter we have a list of banned materials. And a fume hood that must be running or the laser won't turn on.

Re: Polycarbonate/Plexiglass Ruling
Correct me if I am wrong but Polycarbonate has dangerous gases too.

Re: Polycarbonate/Plexiglass Ruling
I just know it cuts like crap. It puts the carbon back into polycarbonate.

It also cuts like crap, though, so it's sort of immaterial. |

Polycarbonate/Plexiglass Ruling
Cut Kydex on laser, created chlorine gas. 0/10 would not recommend. Edit: forgot to add it causes every steel part in your laser to rust. So yeah, don't cut PVC. Last edited by frcguy : 20-01-2017 at 15:47. |
