Many technical plastics such as POM, PA (nylon) and PEHD can be successfully laser cut, if the sheets are thin. Thicker sheets may suffer quality and tolerance issues because the plastic often melts along the cut. At the same time, steam can arise, which then requires special measures with respect to vacuum and filter controls. Technical plastic is still laser cut, due to the geometry of the blank or to keep prices low. At Induflex, we no longer laser cut technical plastics. Instead we prefer CNC-milling or water-jet cutting, which allows us to achieve the requisite quality.
