Plastic laser cutting

‍
A BRM Laser machine is ideally suited for cutting and engraving technical plastics. Thanks to the precision and speed offered by a BRM laser cutter, you can process various plastics far better than traditional milling machines. This gives you full control over the quality of the final product. Additionally, with a BRM laser machine, you can both laser cut and laser engrave plastics. Virtually any type of technical plastic can be processed with a BRM laser machine, with a precision that other machines can't match.

The advantages of plastic laser cutting

‍
The traditional milling machine is a long-standing method for cutting and processing technical plastics. However, this method has already been surpassed by BRM laser machines. First, a BRM laser machine operates 20% to 50% faster than a milling machine, which represents nearly a 150% improvement in production capacity. Additionally, the laser is accurate up to 0.1 mm in cutting and engraving, allowing you to easily process even the most complex shapes and products. There's also no need to consider the thickness of the milling head.
Lastly, a BRM laser machine offers significant advantages when it comes to post-processing your products. While you would have to deburr or flame-polish sharp edges when using a milling machine, a laser cutter produces a clean final product. The heat from the laser beam slightly melts the edges, producing the same effect as flame-polishing. Moreover, a BRM laser machine requires much less maintenance, as the laser head does not physically contact the material during plastic laser cutting.

In summary, a BRM laser machine is an investment that pays off both in the short and long term.

Factors for purchasing a BRM laser machine

‍There are a few key things to take into account. First, it's important to determine the category of plastic your material belongs to. These categories may include:

• Thermoplastics (amorphous, semi-crystalline, or fully crystalline)
• Thermosets
• Elastomers

Thermosets will not bend under high temperatures and are less likely to deform. On the other hand, elastomers and thermoplastics are more prone to bending at higher temperatures. Therefore, it's crucial to check what type of material you are working with before laser cutting or engraving plastic.

A BRM laser machine can easily handle most plastics. However, there are a few plastics that are not suitable for laser cutting or engraving, such as PVC, PVB, and carbon / carbon fiber. It's important to check whether your materials contain these plastics before working with one of our machines.
