Laser cutting of polycarbonate

eurolaser offers laser cutter especially configurated for foils

The cutting of polycarbonate (also known as Lexan ^® or Makrolon ^®) with CO₂ laser systems are characterised by high precision and flexibility. The varied offer of eurolaser is in particular suitable for the laser cutting of polycarbonate foils. With the parallel use of CO₂ laser and knife bits on one machine, you can turn your eurolaser system into an universal cutter.

What are the advantages of laser cutting of polycarbonate?

Filigree details without material damages

Very high precision during cutting of printed foils

Clean and perfect cut edges – no post-processing necessary
No material fixation required due to vacuum table
No flaking of the material as is the case with punching due to contact-free and force-free processing

No tool cleaning – no sticking of the single parts after cutting
No tool wear and thus, a constantly high cutting quality
High flexibility in contour – without tool preparation or tool changes

We recommend the following laser systems for the cutting of polycarbonate:

Polycarbonate is also known as Makrolon ® or Lexan ®

Material information about laser cutting of polycarbonate:

Polycarbonate (PC) are thermoplastic polymers which are also known as Makrolon ^®, Anjalon ^® Lexan ^® or Durolon ^®. We are daily confronted with PC in the form of front foils for touch panels, indicating instruments or even colourfully printed front panels and speedometers. Foils made of this synthetic can be processed with the laser up to a material thickness of 3 mm. Especially the contactless processing through the laser beam and the therewith related smooth cutting as well as the high precision are crucial arguments for the usage of laser technology in processing of polycarbonate foils.
