Acrylic
A versatile thermoplastic widely used in laser cutting and fabrication, acrylic is prized for its clarity, durability, and clean-cut edges. It offers a smooth, glossy finish and excellent precision, making it ideal for signage, display models, architectural prototypes, and decorative parts. Available in clear, colored, frosted, and mirrored variants.
Applications
Healthcare & Dental
Acrylic is widely used to produce dental prosthetics, retainers, and medical device housings where clarity and biocompatibility are essential. Its glass-like finish makes it ideal for surgical guides and transparent medical tools.
Product Design & Prototyping
Designers rely on acrylic prints to create high-fidelity visual prototypes and concept models. Its smooth surface and ability to mimic glass or injection-molded parts make it perfect for client presentations, displays, and design validation.
Jewelry & Casting
Acrylic’s transparency and polish allow jewelers and artists to produce intricate, customized designs. It is often used for decorative accessories, awards, and ornaments where a durable, crystal-clear finish is desired.
