Properties of Green Cast®:
- Made of 100% recycled content from pre and post consumer acrylic
- Optically, mechanically and thermally identical to conventional acrylic
- Up to 10x more shatterproof than glass
- Easy to process (gluing, bending, milling, etc.)
- High UV resistance
- 100% Recycled and recyclable
The goal of the laser test:
Burr-free, clean and precise cutting edges - identical to conventional acrylic glass
We have tested different versions of Madreperla's Green Cast® for processing with our laser systems. So far, processing has mainly taken place with the mechanical tools saw and router. In consultation with Madreperla, attention was paid to the following requirements:
- Comparability with conventional PMMA
- Crystal clear, burr-free cutting edges
- Reduction of breakage and waste due to non-contact processing
- Clean processing and avoidance of chips
- No tool wear and consistently high cutting quality

Test result:
Green Cast® is excellently suited for laser processing
We have extensively tested four variants of Green Cast® on our laser systems and achieved flawless cutting results. All tested variants showed excellent cuttability and no limitations compared to conventional PMMA. We therefore award the rating "excellently suitable" for laser cutting capability. Thanks to non-contact processing and optimum vacuum formation of the eurolaser systems, no mechanical clamping was necessary prior to processing. There was no tool wear whatsoever and the cut quality remained equally high. We were able to achieve crystal-clear, smooth and clean cut edges and cut virtually radius-free contours with the laser. Breakage and waste could be reduced to a minimum, especially compared to mechanical processing.
