Laser cutting of polystyrene

eurolaser offers laser cutter especially configurated for plastics

The cutting and marking of polystyrene (PS) with CO₂ laser systems is characterised by its high precision and flexibility. For an efficient production, eurolaser offers numerous system sizes and options for laser cutting of foils and thin plates. With the parallel use of CO₂ laser and mechanical tools (knife, router) on one machine, you turn your eurolaser system into an universal cutter.

What advantages have laser cutting of polystyrene?

Filigree details without material damages

Very high precision during cutting of printed polystyrene sheets

Smooth cutting edges without post-processing

Clean and perfect cut edges – no post-processing necessary
No material fixation – due to vacuum table
No knife cleaning required – 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 polystyrene:

Suitability for laser cutting: excellently suitable

Modelmaking is a typical area of application for the laser cutting of polystyrene

Material information for laser cutting of polystyrene:

Polystyrene (PS) is mainly processed with laser systems in form of foils and thin plates or sheets. Applications are for example packaging made of thin foils, or the model making. It is also used in the advertising industry. As an example for this are resistant and especially light plates for signs or the exhibition stand construction (e.g. SMART-X^®). The cutting with the laser happens contactless so that it is possible to cut filigree details. As the material does not need to be fixed, the whole plate or sheet, ultimate edges included, can be processed. Through the expandability of the eurolaser cutter with routers and knives, operators will achieve a very high flexibility in processing here.
