Acrylic is a hard durable plastic-type
product that is very commonly used in sign applications. Acrylic has a
smooth surface and is easy to cut, bend and paint, making it perfect for
the world of signs. Acrylic is fantastic for indoor signage and outdoor
laser cut or panel work. Acrylic comes standard from 2mm thick all
the way up to 30mm thick and comes in a wide range of colors. You can
fabricate acrylic in order to make it thicker or even join two pieces
together. There are a number of different options of how you can use
acrylic in your office.
Quality, speed and precision are the
focal points behind every part we cut at Gogia Print-O-Grafix. Laser
cutting should not stress or distort materials, allowing the components
to maintain its strength and durability. We can cut expert shapes and
letters Computer aided laser cutting systems will cut out sharp corners
and micro details, which are impossible to produce with other machines.
The
acrylic used is also very important. Acrylic may be A-Cast or extruded.
A-Cast acrylic is excellently suited to laser cutting. With extruded
acrylic, the cut edges become milky after cutting due to the
stresses released. It is also important to achieve clean adjustment of
the beam since the cut edges are not vertical. The selection of a laser
source with good beam quality is particularly crucial.
Using
Acrylic for sign letters and general sign lettering applications can
substantially cut down the cost and time to make a good looking sign.
Acrylic sign letters can be used in either inside or outside
applications and in a variety of temperature zones.
