Laser Cutting for Plastics

Precision Cutting Solutions for Modern Plastic Fabrication

At Laser Lines, we offer high-performance lasers for laser cutting engineered to deliver fast, clean, and accurate cuts across a wide range of plastic materials. Our systems are ideal for industries including signage, packaging, product design, prototyping, and manufacturing—where detail and quality matter.

What Is Laser Cutting?

Laser cutting is a non-contact process that uses a focused beam of light to cut through materials with extreme precision. In plastic fabrication, the laser melts or vaporises the material along the cutting path, leaving smooth, sealed edges with minimal or no need for post-processing.

The process is controlled digitally, allowing complex shapes and intricate designs to be cut consistently and efficiently—perfect for both one-off projects and high-volume production runs.

How Laser Cutting Works (for Plastics)

  1. A high-powered laser beam is generated and focused onto the surface of the plastic.

  2. The intense heat melts, burns or vaporises the material precisely along the programmed path.

  3. An assist gas (usually air or nitrogen) helps clear away molten material for a clean edge.

  4. The result is a high-quality cut with little to no mechanical stress or material distortion.

Laser cutting is highly suitable for a wide range of plastic materials, including:

  • Acrylic (PMMA) – Ideal for signage, displays, and decorative items

  • Polycarbonate – Common in engineering and protective covers

  • PETG – Popular for packaging and medical applications

  • ABS – Used in enclosures and product casings

  • Polystyrene, Polypropylene & Nylon – For technical and industrial parts

⚠ Note: Some plastics (e.g., PVC) can release hazardous fumes when laser cut—always consult with our team to ensure material compatibility.

Benefits of Laser Cutting Plastics
