Acrylic Letters & Logos
Flat letters, logos, faces and display components cut from cast acrylic. Clear acrylic can leave the CO2 table with a polished edge, while coloured and opal sheet can be prepared for fabrication or illumination.

CO2 laser cutting for acrylic, timber, plywood and MDF, plus fiber laser cutting for metal parts. Both processes run through our Sydney workshop, so the material, edge and finished use decide the machine—not guesswork at enquiry stage.

Applications
Jobs that suit laser cutting
Signage, display and fabrication work where material choice, edge appearance or detailed profiles affect the finished result.
Timber & MDF Display Parts
Profiles, layered graphics, templates and interlocking display pieces in suitable timber, plywood and MDF. The cut edge naturally darkens, so its appearance should be considered in the design.
Metal Letters & Components
Steel, stainless, aluminium, Corten, brass, copper and 0.6mm Colorbond flat sheet cut on the fiber table for letters, plates, brackets and parts that continue into fabrication.
Engraved Panels & Details
Logos, text, numbering and surface patterns engraved into suitable acrylic and timber. Cutting and engraving can share one production file when the operations are separated into clear layers.
Screens & Architectural Features
Decorative patterns, perforated panels and feature components for fit-outs, façades, landscapes and public artwork. Bridges, borders, open area and later fixings are checked before production.
Mixed-Material Sign Fabrication
Acrylic faces, metal returns, mounting plates and decorative layers can be produced through the appropriate cutting process, then coordinated for folding, welding, coating, illumination and assembly.
Our Work
Two lasers, two different jobs
The galleries below are separated by process so you can see what each machine produces. CO2 handles acrylic, timber, board and acoustic felt. Fiber handles sheet metal. You don't need to nominate the machine — send the material and the finished use, and the job is routed to the right table.
CO2 laser
Acrylic, timber, board and felt
Cast acrylic to 40mm with a flame-polished edge, timber, plywood and MDF to 20mm, plus engraving on the same table. No metal on this machine.
Fiber laser
Sheet metal for signage and fabrication
Mild steel and aluminium to 6mm, stainless to 5mm, Corten and brass to 2mm, copper to 1.5mm, Colorbond flat sheet at 0.6mm only. Parts continue into folding, welding, coating and assembly.
Choosing the Laser
CO2 for non-metals. Fiber for metal.
The two lasers solve different production problems. CO2 energy is well suited to acrylic, timber, plywood and MDF, allowing detailed profiles and engraved surfaces. Fiber laser is the metal-cutting route for steel, stainless, aluminium, Corten, Colorbond, brass and copper within the published working ranges.
Both working areas are 3000 × 1500mm, but sheet size alone does not decide suitability. Acrylic type, timber adhesive, metal grade, coatings, protective film, part geometry and the required edge all affect the result. Unknown or customer-supplied material is reviewed before a full run.
Artwork should separate cut paths, engraving, fold references and notes. Closed vectors, outlined text and one clear version of each line prevent double cutting or operator interpretation. Critical dimensions and later fabrication steps belong in the enquiry, not after the parts have been cut.
Laser cutting may be only the first operation. Parts can continue into bonding, folding, welding, coating, illumination and assembly. Explaining the finished use helps us quote the complete outcome and redirect boards, flexible sheet or unsuitable materials to CNC routing or digital knife cutting when those processes are better.

Process Comparison
Which cutting process should you use?
Send the material, thickness and finished use. We will quote the process that suits the job.
| Decision | CO2 laser | Fiber laser | CNC router | Digital knife |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Acrylic, timber, plywood, MDF | Flat metal parts | Rigid boards and machined panels | Flexible, printed and light sheet |
| Typical result | Cut profiles plus engraving | Metal profiles for finishing or fabrication | Profiles, holes, pockets and grooves | Through-cut, kiss-cut and crease |
| Main consideration | Heat response and edge appearance | Metal grade, thickness and finish | Tool radius, hold-down and depth | Tool choice and print registration |
| Quote file | Vector cut and engraving layers | CAD/vector geometry plus metal spec | Machining layers and depths | Cut/crease paths plus print artwork |
Quote preparation
What should you send?
Include a 1:1 vector or CAD file, the exact material and thickness, finished size, quantity and required edge or surface finish. Mark the visible face, critical dimensions and any grain direction or protective film requirement.
Separate cutting, engraving and reference information. Identify parts that will later be folded, welded, bonded, coated, illuminated or assembled. If you only have a sketch or sample, send dimensions and photographs so drawing and testing can be allowed for before production.
