Laser cutting and routing of PET-G

Combine the advantages of two processing methods

PETG sheets are similar in appearance to acrylic glass but they have different properties. PETG, for example, is a lot more stable or resistant, although this also makes laser processing more complex. Typical areas of application for PETG include technical glazing, shop fittings and exhibition stand construction, furniture, protective housings and displays. The special feature of our sample is the groove around the edge that was milled with the parallel mounted milling module. The screw holes and outer contour were cut with laser.

Benefits of eurolaser technology

Can be cut and engraved extremely well with CO₂ lasers
Smooth cutting edges even in filigree contours with no reworking
Processing with protective foil possible
Chipless laser cutting and engraving

No tool wear or tool changeover
No clamping or fixing necessary with laser cutting
High degree of repeatability and consistent quality
Practically radius free laser cutting of inner contours in all thicknesses

Material information

Polyethylene terephthalate with glycol (PETG) is a thermoplastic resin of the polyester family. CO₂-lasers from eurolaser achieve excellent results in the cutting and marking of this flame and chemical-resistant, durable and virtually unbreakable material. PET/ PETG are used for protective machine devices, glazing, in shop and exhibition stand construction and in the furniture sector.
