That is larger than a standard sheet, which means oversized panels, architectural elements, and large fixture components get machined in one piece instead of being cut down and joined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"121:1-121:21;5855-5875\"\u003eMaterials we run\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"123:1-123:149;5877-6025\"\u003eAcrylic, HDPE, LDPE, polycarbonate, PVC foam, UHMW, ABS, nylon, acetal, CPVC, HDU, and polypropylene. We also machine aluminum, wood, and starboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"125:1-125:178;6027-6204\"\u003eIf you are specifying a material and are not sure it will hold up in a Florida install, ask before you buy the sheet. The wrong plastic outdoors in this climate fails in months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"127:1-127:20;6206-6225\"\u003eWhat we machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"129:1-129:210;6227-6436\"\u003eRouting, milling, and profile cutting. Pockets and recesses for sub-flush insets. Drilled and threaded holes. 3D reliefs and V carves. Inlays. Engraving.

They are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"135:1-135:189;6510-6698\"\u003eThe laser is faster on thin acrylic and leaves a flame-polished edge with no secondary work. Choose it for flat parts under 5\/8 in where the edge finish comes off the machine ready to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"137:1-137:310;6700-7009\"\u003eThe router handles thicker stock, materials the laser cannot process cleanly, and anything that needs a machined feature rather than a through cut. Pockets, threads, bevels, counterbores. The routed edge is mechanically cut, which means it can be diamond polished to optical clarity if the piece calls for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"139:1-139:124;7011-7134\"\u003eSend us the part and we will tell you which process fits. Most jobs that come in asking for one end up better on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"141:1-141:32;7136-7167\"\u003eTolerance and repeatability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"143:1-143:252;7169-7420\"\u003e0.005 in is tight enough for parts that have to assemble without shims, mate with hardware, or drop into an existing enclosure. For production runs, the value is not hitting that number once. It is hitting it on part four hundred the same as part one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"145:1-145:10;7422-7431\"\u003eFiles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"147:1-147:163;7433-7595\"\u003eVector or 3D files in AI, DXF, DWG, STEP, or PDF. For machined features we need dimensions, not just an outline. A drawing with callouts beats a pretty rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Florida Acrylics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44904734621882,"sku":"SFA-CNC-001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8843\/1546\/files\/cnc-machining-routing-for-acrylic.webp?v=1766066620","url":"https:\/\/sfacrylics.com\/products\/cnc-routing-and-machining","provider":"South Florida Acrylics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
