Engravable Acrylic FAQ

Choosing materials for a diode laser

What laser crafters ask before ordering two-tone and three-tone sheets.

  • Are all acrylic colours diode-friendly?

    This page includes the confirmed diode-friendly acrylic colours. Browse the Cast acrylic section for pastels and other suitable colours, or Engravable acrylic for two-tone and three-tone sheets.

  • What about acrylic or leatherette 1.5 mm or thicker?

    A 40W diode laser may be needed to cut acrylic or leatherette 1.5 mm or thicker cleanly. Results depend on the material and your machine. Check the product details before choosing a sheet.

  • Can I choose any base for a Next Level pattern?

    Diode compatibility depends on the selected base. Choose a diode-friendly base for diode cutting. The printed design alone does not determine compatibility.

  • Where can I find material settings?

    See our acrylic diode cutting tests and leatherette settings guide. Use these with your machine instructions and test on a small piece of the actual material.
