CO₂ laser machines – the ideal solution for laser cutting polystyrene

What are the advantages of laser cutting polystyrene (PS)?

Laser cutting polystyrene enables precise and cost-effective cutting of a wide range of sheets and components. Even intricate details and complex contours can be laser cut flexibly without the need for dedicated tooling. The non-contact process produces no chips and involves no tool wear, ensuring consistent results from individual parts through to series production.

Applications for laser cutting polystyrene

Common applications of our laser machines for polystyrene (PS)

Polystyrene (PS) is a versatile plastic characterised by its low weight, excellent printability and high-quality surface finish. Polystyrene sheets are available in a range of thicknesses and finishes and are widely used for both graphic and structural applications. Typical applications include displays and signage, shop and window displays, advertising technology, exhibition stand construction and interior fit-outs.
