Clean Flame-Polished Edge Quality
Polymer laser processing severs thermo-plastics instantly, sealing edges with a smooth, glass-like finish. For engineering plastics sensitive to thermal stress, our 4x8 CNC routing cells deliver zero-heat mechanical cuts.
Key Advantages
- Optically clear, flame-polished edges directly off the laser table
- Stress-free non-contact cut eliminating mechanical tool chatter & burrs
- Micro-feature hole patterns and complex internal cutouts down to 0.010"
- Cleanroom compatible packaging available upon request
Standard Polymer Materials
Flame-polished optically clear edges & display windows
Precision low-friction gears, bushings & wear pads
Chemical resistant seals, gaskets & electrical insulators
High-impact safety shielding & machine guard windows
Process Technology: Dual CO₂ Laser & 4x8 CNC Routing
Sealed CO₂ Laser (10.6 µm) with Clean Dry Air Assist: Ideal for cast acrylic (PMMA), Delrin (POM), and wood composites up to 0.500" (12.7 mm). The laser momentarily melts and vaporizes the cut kerf, producing high-gloss, flame-polished crystal-clear edges directly off the table without manual torch polishing.
High-Speed 4x8 3-Axis CNC Routing: For dense industrial polymers (UHMW-PE, PTFE Teflon, dense PEEK, or PVC) up to 1.500" (38 mm) thickness that cannot be thermally cut, our CNC routing spindles run specialized single-flute carbide tooling with vortex cold-air guns for burr-free chip evacuation.
CAD Formats & DFM Guidelines
Direct CAD Upload: We process 3D STEP (.stp, .step), IGES (.igs), 2D DXF/DWG, and vector files (AI, SVG, PDF) with itemized quotes in 24–48h and zero minimum order quantity (No MOQs).
- • Material Specification: Always specify Cast Acrylic (cell-cast PMMA) for optical crystal clarity.
- • Tolerances: ±0.002" (50 microns) for microfluidic UV ablation, general CO₂ laser acrylic, and CNC routing.
- • Web Thickness: Maintain minimum web thickness ≥ 1.0 × T (or ≥ 0.040") between cutouts to prevent thermal softening.
- • Stress Relief Fillets: Add internal radii ≥ 0.060" on structural polycarbonate/acrylic cutouts to eliminate craze cracking.
