Hi all,
I am working with .125" and .25" cast acrylic. I am cutting out several smaller holes in each piece and then cutting out an outline. Think of a 5"x5" square that then has several .5"x.5" cutouts within it.
I assume that since I am removing so much material, the heat from the lasering process is causing the acrylic to bend slightly so that it comes out bowed. I am using air assist, but was wondering if there are any tricks to prevent this - either during cutting or after. I thought I might be able to heat the piece once it's done and the sandwhich it between some boards to flatten it.
Any ideas?
