DO NOT CUT!
Material | DANGER! | Cause/Consequence |
---|---|---|
PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride)/vinyl/pleather/artificial leather | Emits chlorine gas when cut! | Don't ever cut this material as it will ruin the optics, causes the metal of the machine to corrode as chlorine is released and ruins the motion control system. Also chlorine Chlorine gas is also poisonous as fuck. |
Polycarbonate/Lexan | Cuts very poorly, discolors, catches fire | Polycarbonate is often found as flat, sheet material. It is a poor choice for laser cutting. It creates long stringy clouds of soot that float up, ruin the optics and mess up the machine. |
ABS | Melts / Cyanide | ABS does not cut well in a laser cutter. It tends to melt rather than vaporize, and has a higher chance of catching on fire and leaving behind melted gooey deposits on the vector cutting grid. It also does not engrave well (again, tends to melt). Cutting ABS plastic emits hydrogen cyanide, which is unsafe at any concentration. |
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) | Catches fire and melts | It melts. It gets gooey. It catches fire. Don't use it. |
PolyStyrene Foam | Catches fire | It catches fire quickly, burns rapidly, it melts, and only thin pieces cut. This is the #1 material that causes laser fires!!! |
PolyPropylene Foam | Catches fire | Like PolyStyrene, it melts, catches fire, and the melted drops continue to burn and turn into rock-hard drips and pebbles. |
Epoxy | burn / smoke | Epoxy is an aliphatic resin, strongly cross-linked carbon chains. A CO2 laser can't cut it, and the resulting burned mess creates toxic fumes ( like cyanide! ). Items coated in Epoxy, or cast Epoxy resins must not be used in the laser cutter. ( see Fiberglass ) |
Fiberglass | Emits fumes | It's a mix of two materials that cant' be cut. Glass (etch, no cut) and epoxy resin (fumes) |
Coated Carbon Fiber | Emits noxious fumes | A mix of two materials. Thin carbon fiber mat can be cut, with some fraying - but not when coated. |
Any foodstuff ( such as meat, seaweed 'nori' sheets, cookie dough, bread, tortillas... ) | Food in laser/poison in food | Unhygienic and potentially contaminates the food with other materials/poisons. |

Merk at du betaler for alt materiale som du laserkutter/graverer, ikke bare det som ender opp som ditt ferdige produkt. Vennligst kast alt brukt materiale (med hull, streker eller tegninger) i søpla ute i gangen. (TODO: Sette opp blandet avfall-dunk på Smia) |
