Acrylic Cutting Machine CNC Router Engraving Machine

This is one of the latest China Acrylic cutting machine in 2021. Its shape is very novel. The Acrylic cutting machine is surrounded by lights, which makes your processing workshop very beautiful. It can perfectly realize wood cutter, acrylic cutter and other materials cutting, meanwhile the computer wood router machine can do engraving, carving, drilling, cutting, milling, grooving work, and many other different works. You can use DSP or Mach 3 To realize the control of the machine.

Features of Acrylic cutting machine

Best Cheap CNC Machine is a Desktop Acrylic cutting machine for small shop or home hobby woodworkers. With the features of small working table and cost-effective kits, it is very popular in market. Especially for processing small workpieces such as wood craft, decorative products, signs.

Advantages of Acrylic cutting machine:

1)Strong anti-interference ability

2) fast recognizing speed 

3) high efficiency 

4) can recognize big size program design automatically, don't need output engraving routing, good recognize function, fast positioning speed.

5) one person can operate many sets at one time 

6) control system can so whole job from making design

Processing characteristics:

Acrylic cutting machine: It uses mechanical means and has larger power. As it uses the mechanical tool and directly contact the work-piece during processing, it may not achieve high precision. But for the thicker acrylic plates, this machine can complete cutting or embossing processing easily. Especially for the acrylic reliefs and 3D sculptures with different depths, the CNC acrylic cutting machine has more advantages. 

Cutting Process

For best results, the recommended strategy is to split the cutting process into two parts – a roughing cut and a finishing cut, each done with a different tool. This allows you to preserve your finishing tool for a longer period of time, which in turn enables you to achieve that higher quality finish.

If your quality starts to diminish you should consider replacing your finishing tool. This will need to be changed on a regular basis to maintain highest quality.

Application of Acrylic cutting machine

Stepmores Acrylic cutting machine is not only suitable for wood, mdf, acrylic processing, it is also very suitable for soft metal cutting, such as aluminum composite panel, aluminum sheet, copper, etc., this type play an important role in the advertising industry.

1. Furniture industry: solidwood doors, composite doors, cabinet doors, interior doors, sofa legs, headboards, antique furniture and superficial flower-shaped engraving of various plate-type furniture and disposable finishing of process.

2. Decorated industry: variety of decorations engraving process such as decorative murals, screens, decorative patterns, three-dimensional wave boards, sound-absorbing panels and so on.

3. Advertising industry: engraving and making for acrylic cutting and engraving, acrylic plastic model making, badges and a variety of logo signs.

4. Arts & crafts industry: sculpture making of arts & crafts such as process relief, shadow carving, craft ornaments, car accessories and so on.

5. Musical instrument industry: headstock processing ,guitar semi-finished products processing, surface sculpture and three-dimensional curved surface making of various musical instruments' decorative patterns.

Cutting Acrylic on a CNC Machine

Now that you've chosen your material, bit, and design, it’s time to get started with the cutting process.

Step #1 - Set the feed-rate according to the size of your bit. The recommended feed-rate for cutting acrylic is generally between 75-300 IPM. Larger bits work well with higher feed-rates, and smaller bits require a lower feed-rate.

Step #2 - Set the RPM. We recommend that you use at least 18,000 RPM to optimize the spindle’s ability to cut through acrylic without melting it.

Step #3 - Set the cutting depth. In general, we recommend that the cutting depth be about 1/2 of the diameter of the bit. This will prevent the bit from breaking.

Step #4 - Make sure that you choose to begin cutting with a ramp. You can choose this option inside the V-Carve Pro software. Going into the acrylic with ramping instead of plunging in will prevent distortion.

Step #5 - Secure the acrylic material to the CNC router table.

Step #6 - Run the CNC router to cut out the acrylic design you want.
