XLNT TECH Engraving Double Color Sheet (7 x 11“ x .040”, 12 Pieces & 12 Colors) for Interior Signs, Badges.

This engraving plastic works as well in my laser as any other I have tried. It comes with a plastic protective film on top. You want to leave that film on when you cut and then carefully remove it afterwards as it will keep your material from getting all sooted up. Raster engraving will not leave a smooth surface. Ive tried the stuff from Trotec laser and I didnt get a smooth raster finish with that either. What does work is cutting, and its cousin - vector engraving (which is just cutting, but with less power and faster so it doesnt go through). The top coat on engraving plastic is REAL thin, so youll likely find that the fastest movement and the lowest power your laser will do will be enough to leave marks. THE MOST IMPORT THING IS SAFETY!! I run a Middle School makerspace. The most important part of onboard training (Which i do for each and every tool in the space, for each and every student that comes in) is how to work with a tool safely. Lasers work by cutting things with heat, so a risk with laser cutting is always FIRE. Ive had fires start when cutting cardboard, paper, foamcore, and rubber. You should ALWAYS have a fire extinguisher next to your laser cutter. You should always check before you start cutting that you know where said extinguisher is. You should NEVER leave the laser while its running. Watch it work! Also, you might keep a spray bottle full of water near the laser. Most laser fires can be extinguished with a few swirts of water and thats a lot easier to clean up than a fire extinguisher. You will need the following upgrades on your laser to use this material: 1) FUME EXHAUST: Folks, having an exhaust to take your fumes outside is super important no matter what you are cutting in the laser. Cutting WOOD in the laser results in ultrafine (<2.5pm) particles that are hazardous to your health. This stuff is ABS plastic, read up on burning ABS - it will release formaldehyde which is REAALLY bad for you! Dont skimp out, get a fume exhaust system in place. 2) Air assist: ABS is known to be a fire-prone material when laser cutting. Having an air assist is really important for blowing out most fires that will start when cutting this material. Again, dont cheap out, an air assist costs less than a new laser cutter or house.

Delivered on time, worked as expected.

Product seemed good for making name plates, but end up subpar. When using my CNC machine to engrave nameplates, I had a bunch of issues with the top layer not cutting clean. I spent a lot of time going through with a scribe trying to get the black top layer to break free. This product is not a poured plastic topcoat, but more of a laminate on top. Pretty much a waste of my money for what I am trying to do. I was expecting clean cuts, but the top was like a layer of tape that did not want to cut clean.

As a new hobbiest I didnt really know what I was doing. When I purchased this product I didnt know I really the gem I found. This is a great product and at this price point it allows hobbiest to experiment and get better at the craft.

Good Selection for the price. Well packed. A bit fragile & easy to go through Did not find the proper settings for my CNC (feed rate and spindle speed) to match the material, my fault.

I got this thinking I could cnc it with my laser. turns out its actually white acrylic with a thin layer of black. so only the thin black layer got cut, and the laser did not go all the way through. useless

I have laser engraved and CNC engraved this product. Both options worked well. The quality is very similar to the more expensive brother and visually there is little difference. I will reorder this product. It is a good option for smaller quantities of engraving plastic.

When laser engraved the core which is grey, goes browner, as if burnt. Cheap enough to buy but not really good enough for sign making, which is intended use.

My laser hates ABS. Engraving the white second layer doesnt come through as white. Its an uneven sooty grey. Trying to cut this with the laser leaves wisps of soot all over the interior of the K40. This is probably better suited for CNC engraving.

This is a set of dual-colored engraving blanks. The sheets measure 7” x 11” x 1/16”. They are made of ABS plastic. They have a solid blue core with a white coating on one side. They are shipped with a sheet of protective film on the white coating, inside a foam envelope, inside a cardboard box. I have been quite pleased with how well these sheets work with my engraving machine. I was able to make new office labels with logos for our building. They came out sharp. Since the background is white, the labels look best on painted walls or surfaces. Overall, this is a good choice for labelling or engraving.
