Acrylic laser cutting and engraving

[Alex]

Hi all,

I need to cut and engrave a piece of acrylic using laser.

Is anyone aware of any reasonably priced UK supplier that specialises in small volume production? I have contacted 9 so far.

I am also happy to discuss my project requirements with anyone on this board that can offer this service.

Thanks!

If you don't find anyone reasonable nearby, there's a guy I've worked with.

His laser can do acrylic (up to 1/4", IIRC,) he'll do small volumes, and he won't burn you.  Depending on the overall weight of what you need done, the shipping cost might not be prohibitive.

Thanks mike, modelshop is the best offer I have had so far.

Osmosis, I would be grateful if you can ask if your friend can do 12mm thickness. Is he based in the UK?

no he's not, you'd best go with door #1.

Many thanks osmosis.
