I'm trying to cut sheets of Derlin that are about 1/16" thick. The problem is that the plastic clumps up on the cut edges and the sheet bends and warps during cutting.
What is the best percentage...

Yeah. If anything, I can just get a box trailer and secure the CNC plasma cutter in there.
Hi everyone,
Is there is CNC machine that can cut 4' x 8' metal sheets that's on 4 wheels, but the legs fold up as you push it towards the bed of a pickup truck? Kinda like the video link here:...
This question is more for my education really, I don't have plans to do this just yet.
If a company was to manufacture products from thin materials (<2mm), what automation machinery exists to do...
StrawberryBoi, for your info, it's mainly 2D cuts for now, but I may expand into 3D cuts eventually.
Everyone's feedback is interesting tho, so I'll probably just have to test different methods...
There isn't a category for plastic on this website, so I guess I'll post here for now.
I have a CNC router (Shapeoko 3) that works well. I would like to machine stuff from thin sheets of plastic...
Ooooo, thank you for the feedback! I checked out the Bulkman kit and that looks like a good first one for me. Thank you!
Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping to get a desktop CNC router that can cut plastic sheets as thick as 4mm, while using a wood base as a sacrificial piece, for my projects. I understand this thread is about...
Thanks you guys, looks like cutting metals won't be an option for me.
Can I use a 40W CO2 laser to cut Polycarbonate and FR4 (carbon fiber) tho?
Oh, and being able to cut Polycarbonate and FR4 (carbon fiber) as well.
Hi Everyone,
I'm currently designing a CNC Laser cutter that can cut sheets of copper, bronze or brass, aluminum, and steel up to 2mm or 3mm thick. I have done some research online and it seems...
Hi everyone,
I'm currently designing my own laser cutter, for hobby purposes. I already have the design of the CNC made, but I have some questions about the laser cutting part. I thought about...
