Purple Cosmos Acrylic
Cosmos Cast Acrylic (PMMA) Sheet
Description
Purple Cosmos Acrylic Sheets features shimmering multi-shades of light blue and purple with specks of glitter creating an out-of-this-world effect. Cosmos sheets are opaque with minimal light transmission. The back side of the material does have a less color saturated pattern. Patterned sheets will vary from one sheet to the next.
The high-quality gloss finish on both sides of the sheet gives a glass like appearance with the durability of acrylic, making it ideal for use in a wide range of applications, such as point-of-purchase displays, signage, shelving, jewelry, keychains, ornaments, gifts and much more.
These single-ply 3mm sheets can be laser-cut and engraved into shapes and letters or used as a signage component for an endless range of applications.
What is cast acrylic?
Cast Acrylic Sheet is a rigid plastic panel made from polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Some of the registered trademarks under which acrylic is sold are Plexiglas™ (Arkema) and Lucite™ (Lucite International / DuPont).
Acrylic is available in many colors and opacities, but in its pure form is highly transparent – essentially glass-like in appearance. You can buy acrylic sheets for laser cutting, school projects, home projects, and more right here at MakerStock, the ultimate materials marketplace for modern makers.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting acrylic works beautifully, with most lab cutters cutting thicknesses up to 1/4in and many cutting up to 1/2in or more. Acrylic is a very popular laser cutting material because it cuts at relatively low power and produces a smooth glossy cut edge. Building with acrylic is a great option because acrylic is strong, versatile, and durable enough to withstand the test of time. Unless you need some special material properties, and if you want to laser cut something out of “plastic,” you should use acrylic. Buying acrylic online is the best guarantee of getting a plastic material for your projects.
