Acrylic (Transparent Yellow)
Cast Acrylic (PMMA) Sheet
Description
This is transparent yellow acrylic. Transparent acrylic sheets have varying degrees of light transmission, but all will allow you to see through the material. Transparent acrylic sheets are smooth and glossy on both sides.
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).
Our acrylic comes with a paper or plastic film applied to both sides of the material. This protects it from scratching. Once you’ve finished fabricating your parts, you simply peel off the film.

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.
Transparent acrylic is popularly used in C02 laser cutters but is not recommended for use with Diode laser cutters. We suggest reviewing your manufacturers suggestions or contacting customer support if you have any questions.
