Most importantly, clear acrylic cannot be cut, however, you can cut opaque acrylic, limited to some colours.
Q. Why can't the Emblaser 2 cut through clear Acrylic?
A. The Emblaser 2 uses a laser diode and the frequency of light passes directly through clear Acrylic and glass. However, using black paint or coating, both glass and clear acrylic can be engraved, as the black coating absorbs the energy and this is transferred into the material. If you try cutting clear acrylic with paper on both sides, only the paper will be cut.
Q. Can I cut Vinyl or Fake Leather with the Emblaser 2?
A. No, PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride)/vinyl/pleather/artificial leather Emits pure chlorine gas when cut and will also rust your machine!
