I have a 50watt CO2 laser and looking at a project where I would need to cut Kydex. Looking around Kydex is not the best thing to cut due to the gasses that are generated.

I am looking for some suggestions for a similar material. Would like it to have a slightly textured surface with a matte color and for it to be impact resistant like Kydex.

Any thoughts and comments are welcome.

Thanks in advance

Just glancing at the specifications on that material it says polyvinyl chloride. You can’t cut PVC on a laser because of the chlorine gas and it messes up the machine. You might already know that. The little I do on plastic it messes up my honeycomb bed.

I would contact a plastics distributor and ask them about laser safe materials. Problem is that for plastics the list isn’t that long.
