Laser Engraving Acrylic LED Display
How to customize a unique Acrylic LED Display?
— Prepare
• Acrylic Sheet
• Lamp Base
• Laser Engraver
• Design file for the pattern
More importantly, your idea gets ready!
— Making Steps (acrylic laser engraving)
First of all,
You need to confirm the thickness of the acrylic plate in terms of the width of the lamp base groove and reserve the proper size on the acrylic graphic file to fit the groove.
Secondly,
According to the data, turn your design idea into a concrete graphic file (generally vector file for laser cutting, pixel file for laser engraving)
Next,
Go shopping for acrylic plate and lamp base as data confirmed.For raw materials, we can see an example of 12” x 12” （30mm*30mm）acrylic sheets on Amazon or eBay, whose price is only about $10. If you purchase a larger quantity, the price will be lower.
Then,
Now you need a "right assistant" to engrave and cut acrylic, a small size acrylic laser engraving machine is a good choice whether for home handmade or practical production, such as MimoWork Flatbed Laser Machine 130 with a 51.18"* 35.43" (1300mm* 900mm) processing format. The price is not high, and it is very suitable for cutting and engraving on solid materials. Especially for artworks and customized products, like woodcraft, acrylic sign, awards, trophies, gifts, and many others, laser machine well works to intricate engraved patterns and smooth cut edges.
Automated laser engraving and laser cutting can be carried out only by importing your graphics file, and complex patterns can be cut & engraved in a few minutes in time.

# The blowing should be as slight as possible to avoid heat diffusion which could also lead to a burning edge.
# Engrave the acrylic board on the backside to produce a look-through effect from the front.
# Test firstly before cutting and engraving for proper power and speed(ususally high speed and low power are recommended)
