The Benefits of Laser Cutting Plexiglass

‍Processing plexiglass with a BRM laser machine offers many advantages over traditional milling machines. First, you can work up to 50% faster. This is partly due to the fact that almost no post-processing is needed. When working with plexiglass using a standard milling machine, unsightly white edges are left behind, which can only be removed by flame polishing. With a BRM laser machine, the edges remain smooth and clear because the laser cuts much cleaner. The laser also results in significantly lower maintenance costs, as there is no physical contact between the material and the laser head.

‍

Another benefit is that you don’t need to secure the plexiglass sheets, as no pressure is applied to the material, making clamping unnecessary. Moreover, the laser is accurate up to 0.1 mm when cutting, allowing you to easily cut or engrave even the most complex shapes. All of these benefits together result in a 150% increase in production capacity, with a final product of much higher quality than before. All in all, purchasing a BRM laser machine is the right step to take plexiglass processing to the next level.
