Laser Cutting PETG

  • Laser cutting is possible with PETG, but often requires some experimentation with laser frequency and speed settings. Try using a higher frequency and lower speed.
  • Laser engraving is not recommended on thinner PETG sheets as it is likely to warp the material
  • If raster engraving PETG, remove film mask, but be advised it can leave white heat marks on the material, which can be cleaned using mild soap and water
  • Vector engraving, scoring or cutting should be done with protective mask intact to protect the surface from heat marks.
