You can cut ACM panels a number of different ways. Many professional companies use a router. You can buy a circular saw blade made for aluminum. You can use a jigsaw as well.
In this video I show up a very simple way by scoring and snapping using a razor knife and straight edge. If you were cutting a larger piece or a longer cut I would recommend a couple of clamps to hold one end flat to your surface.
After the cut you'll want to knock down the cut edge to make sure it's not too sharp. after this video I used the back side of the blade a pair of scissors to smooth the edge.

Been searching of a way to do this, so thanks for posting it. If you have a print already printed on the dibond will this method damage the print?

If you score through the print and then through the aluminum and snap it it shouldn't hurt the print other than your hand being on it to hold the main board down. You could probably solve for that by putting a piece of newsprint at the like on top between your hand and the print.

Very interesting. Tip: Have the camera fixed in front of you instead of "waving" around when moving. One position will give everything you cover. JMO.

Will this work with a thicker ACM?

3/16, I believe. It should work with thicker, you may need to score it more deeply with multiple passes.

Yikes. Too much blade extension on that Olfa! Normally scoring one side is enough. Clean up with back edge of Olfa.
