Material Overview
Our transparent extruded PMMA sheets (XT) are clear and uniform in thickness, giving them a minimalist and crystal-clear appearance, yet they are much lighter and more impact-resistant than traditional glass. Thanks to their sleek shape and minimal thickness variation, they are perfectly suited for laser cutting, resulting in neatly smooth cut edges. XT is often chosen for applications where precise dimensional tolerance is required, such as in displays and housing applications. Extruded material can, unlike the cast variant, be slightly more sensitive to minor micro-cracks during post-processing due to production and internal stress, so it is advisable to use the cast variant for parts where thickness is less critical.
Line and surface engravings are possible in this material; however, they are less beautiful and even than on cast acrylic.
✔ Highlights
✔ Laser compatible – sharp, clean cuts straight from the laser
✔ Delivered ready-to-use – equipped with a protective film against scratches
✔ Crystal clear and uniform – ideal for applications requiring optical clarity
✔ Impact-resistant and lightweight – a durable alternative to glass
✔ Minimal thickness variation – precise dimensional stability for projects
✔ Cut width ± 0.2 mm – excellent for precision work
✔ UV-resistant – suitable for indoor and outdoor use
✔ Low scratch resistance – careful handling recommended
Which laser source is this material suitable for?

Frequently asked questions about Acrylic transparent (extruded) XT
How do I know if a material is suitable for my laser cutter?
Op iedere productpagina staat aangegeven voor welke soorten lasers het materiaal geschikt is (bijvoorbeeld CO₂- of diodelaser). Twijfel je? Neem gerust contact met ons op, wij adviseren je graag.
Are the plates the exact specified size?
We snijden/zagen de platen zo nauwkeurig mogelijk. Kleine afwijkingen van enkele millimeters kunnen voorkomen door het zaag- of snijproces.
Can I return materials?
Ja, ongebruikte en onbeschadigde materialen kunnen binnen 14 dagen worden geretourneerd. Op maat gemaakte of speciaal bestelde platen vallen hier niet onder. Meer informatie vind je op onze retourpagina.
What are the shipping costs?
De verzendkosten worden automatisch berekend tijdens het afrekenen, afhankelijk van formaat, gewicht en bestemming.
