Your Epilog Laser system is very versatile. It can mark and cut many different
materials. Following is information regarding some of the materials the laser will
mark and cut. Check the Epilog website www.epiloglaser.com periodically for new
laser applications, tips, and techniques to use with your laser.
information regarding materials not mentioned below, please contact your local
Epilog representative for information.

Acrylic

Your laser system uses a high intensity beam of light that can generate extremely high
temperatures when it comes into contact with the material being engraved, marked or
cut. Some materials are extremely flammable and can easily ignite and burst into
open flame setting the machine afire. This open flame is very dangerous and has the
potential to destroy not only the machine, but the building in which it is housed.
Experience shows that vector cutting with the laser has the most potential to create an
open flame. Many materials are susceptible to igniting, but acrylic, in all its different
forms, has been shown to be especially flammable when vector cutting with the laser.
