Thu May 28, 2009 8:44 pm Acrylic incompatible with laser cut?
The software tells me that acrylic is incompatible with laser cutting. This is untrue. How do I fix it?
Thanks!

We do not support laser cutting of acrylic currently. Please use Router instead.

That's sort of strange, given that (a) acrylic cuts well by laser, and (b) your site describes acrylic as:
"eMachineShop allows you to design custom acrylic parts using: Counter boring ... Counter sinking ... Drilling ... Laser Cutting ... Milling ... Reaming ... Band sawing ... Shearing ... Threading & Tapping ... Turning (lathe) ... [-- login to view link --] ... Welding ... Extrusion and Injection Molding. "
and describes laser cutting as:
"Stainless steel, plain steel and spring steel are highly suitable for laser cutting. Acrylic is an excellent material for laser cutting and results in a near polished edge. "
