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.
