very impressive

Ok, this is an old video but very interesting. I'd love to know more about cutting different types of acrylic. On this video, what kind of acrylic are you using? Cass vs Extruded? I have an xTool D1 cutter but have not been able to cut many acrylics. Really, so far only black. So, if you can give me some hints, I will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

May i know what name of material wood?

What did you put in the material section

What are you putting in the material section

Thanks for demonstrating. Interesting. Please tune the music down a bit the next time or go without. ;-)

Hi, the link of the file design is not working? Please fix

Lol….that’s a lot of tech to load bottles slower… 🙄

Hii you have always the design file ? :)

the thickness of the wood is very important ...how many mm are you using?

I tried thru your li k and it doesn’t exist any longer

Would love to purchase the laser file for this

This is wonderful

I recently developed an alternative method,seeing that I usually cut half inch acrylic letters that take up the entire bed size of our Speedy 360,and can take upwards of two hours per sheet. Instead of putting the wet paper towel on the bed, I actually use it directly on top of the acrylic.It has to be drenched and completely smoothed out without any gaps of air between the towel and the board. This is better,imo,because I keep a spray bottle full of water on hand,and when it starts to dry out,I can always pause the machine and re-wet the towel. This would be completely impossible for me to do if the towel were underneath the acrylic.

Have you tried cutting clear polycarbonate?

does this work with a diode laser?

Wow!!! Cutting 20mm thick acrylic at 100mm/s is more than impressive with 80 watts. Is there some magical power/effect that allows an RF laser beam to defeat the laws of pyhsics and chemistry? 2 or 3mm/s would be a more realistic speed Did I miss the bit that indicated that the video was greatly speeded up or is the close up demonstration slowed down. VERY confusing.

Absolutely brilliant and informative! Thanks Laser Dave

what machine is this?

Is this applicable only onto acrylics? Or you suggest doing it in all materials?

really cool , and are you laser cutting machine manufacturer ??

Nice! It's my understanding that Trotec is using a CO2 laser in this presentation. Am wondering if this technique would even work with diode laser, which has a shorter wavelength and is therefore less permeable. I know Trotec recommend CO2 for acrylic, but was wondering if Trotec already knows the answer to this?

I have four acrylic barstools, expensive acrylic barstools oops, too tall by about one inch how can i cut the legs down the diameter of the leg is a approx. one and a quarter please help thanks

I would like a more in depth video on Frequency

what is the cost of this machine?

Nice, thanks for sharing this hack as you call it. Seems like a great way to contain the issue.

super tip!

i can confirm a variant of this method works very well for 3mm plywood, blue tape on the top surface and sopping wet paper towel underneath i've never had cuts this clean and we're talking bottom of the barrel bunnings plywood

very nice trick... simple, smart and 100% efficient 👍

He is so creative I love his work.

thanks for the tip, can not wait to try it out

That’s awesome! Definitely gonna have to try it out. Thanks!

This is brilliant! Thank you SO much for sharing this laser nugget of technique! I wish you and Trotec continued growth and success in helping others to bring in abundance from their creations they provide in service to their customers! We all win!

Helpful. Thanks!

So sad to have a lot of B’s while your name is actually Dave …

Awesome sauce!

very very useful i am going to try it tomorrow

This laser cut acrylic building tower looks great👍👍👍

Nice job

Pᵣₒmₒˢᵐ ✋

Newby here, cutting 0.125" acrylic on ULS carbon dioxide laser at a maker space, dark acrylics have flame marks on back, the maker space insists we use this elevated expanded-mesh underlayment base, wherever the laser hits the steel rack, I get white burn marks on my acrylic cuts. I tried wet shop towels on top of foam board to keep the towels from sagging between the mesh openings on the underlayment, well, now I got much bigger STEAM BURNS on the backsides, I'm making jewelry components for earrings, this technique didn't seem to help my problem, it now looks like dull clouds on what started out as a shiny back, any ideas out there to help me? Thanks!

well I have some 1/2" clear acrylic I have to cut with a 50watt so we're going to give this a try and see exactly how good it actually works.

that is genius and from my point of view, very timely.

That is slick laser Dave

👏👏👏👏

Nice machine, may next can take our Acrylic Mirror & Acrylic Sheet for a trial~

Tell me this feature can be adapted to old Speedy model as an option ^^

Why do people say it's not possible to laser cut transparent acrylic ? Does diode laser have different behavior in that task ?

how awesome when light can create sign

Really amazing piece of advice. Thanks.
