I am trying to quote a large job deep engraving cast acrylic. I need to go about 1/16 (.063) deep into the 1/2" thick sheet. I did a time study for my 60 watt laser and found it will take me 1979 hours of laser time to complete the 1000 sq feet needed. I tried to drop the job but the customer came back and still wants me to give them a quote. They claim sand blasting will not work because it melts the acrylic. So my question is, if I upgrade my machine to a 100 or 120 watt laser, how fast can I laser to a depth of 1/16, assuming a 300 dpi file? While normally this would depend on the laser, I think the speed would be slow enough here that most lasers would be fairly equal. If some of you with the 100 and 120 watt machines would not mind sharing this number, I would greatly appreciate the information. Thank you.
