Laser cutters, as professional production and design tools, are precise and efficient equipment that can easily cut through a range of materials. However, there is one substance that should never be cut using a laser cutter: PVC plastic.
PVC plastic includes chlorine, which, when heated by a laser, can emit toxic fumes. These gasses not only injure the machine, but also endanger the operator and anybody nearby. Be aware of this risk and avoid using a laser cutter to cut PVC material.
Following this guideline will offer a safe and productive atmosphere in which to produce incredible concepts and products.
