Acrylic can still play like this, laser technology makes 3D acrylic shapes

Recently, a team of engineers from Germany used laser cutting and welding to use the basic principles of layered manufacturing to make acrylic sheets into complex 3D shapes.

These developers explained, “Laser cutting machines are used for rapid prototyping because they are fast, but they can only produce flat two-dimensional objects. To create non-planar objects, one way is to slice horizontally. Cut the objects, then stack them and glue them together." But this usually means a lot of manual work, which loses the meaning of rapid manufacturing.

And their design cleverly combines CAD design and laser cutting acrylic, and the whole process is fully automated and integrated, and the final effect is also impressive.

In daily life, laser cutting acrylic sheets is not uncommon. Because acrylic has the advantages of waterproof, moisture-proof, UV-proof, corrosion resistance, high light transmittance and crystal texture, the street signs and advertising light boxes that can be seen everywhere in the city are mostly made of acrylic material. The transparent texture is used in the production of furniture, and the effect is also unique. .

The high-precision CO2 laser cutting machine launched by Shenhui Laser is suitable for cutting acrylic plates, ceramics, advertising decorations and craft gifts. It has the characteristics of high cutting efficiency, small heat-affected zone, beautiful and firm cutting seams, and low operating cost. It is processing Advanced flexible processing tools necessary for high-quality products.
