Laser Cutting Corrugated Plastic?

whitey · Oct 31, 2021

I have access to a laser cutter and wanted to see if I could cut corrugated plastic (I know most plastics I can't cut).

The jury seems to be out from a Google search. Does anyone have first hand experience or a definitive answer?

The answer is yes and no.
You can laser cut coro, there's someone on Official XLights Support group Facebook that showed this.

Main point is that the coro cannot be a PVC based plastic, when burned this releases chorine.
Chorine is alright is well ventilated, but the risk is that it will corrode your machine.

I think Bunnings stuff is polypropylene .
