kerf
The laser vaporizes material — the cutting gap varies with material and thickness. Cuts run centered on the drawn line; for shape.tools products we factor the kerf into your dimensions automatically.More in the glossary →P1–P3 sheet formats
Our three sheet formats: P1 = 181 × 181 mm, P2 = 384 × 384 mm, P3 = 790 × 384 mm. Your design has to fit on one of the sheets. For scale: a vinyl record cover sits between P1 and P2.More in the glossary →

The laser fills an area line by line — like a printer. Ideal for logos and larger motifs. In your file: black filled areas, RGB(0, 0, 0).More in the glossary →vector engraving
The laser traces a line and engraves it into the material — precise, ideal for fine contours. In your file: red hairlines, RGB(255, 0, 0).More in the glossary →Good to know
Description
Acrylic glass GS with a matt (satin) finish on both sides — PERSPEX Frost in the original. The matt surface shrugs off scratches and fingerprints, making it ideal for heavily used surfaces.
Acrylic glass GS is cast: liquid PMMA polymerises between two sheets of glass. The result is a material with outstanding properties — fracture-resistant (compared to glass), weather-resistant, crystal clear in the transparent grades, and easy to shape and machine.
Acrylic glass does not yellow in sunlight, so it is well suited to outdoor use. It expands with heat — always mount it with a little play so the sheet is never under stress.
Tolerances
Expect thickness tolerances of ±(0.4 + 0.1 × thickness) mm — up to ±0.7 mm on a 3 mm sheet. The exception is Acrylic GS Precision, which is made to ±0.1 mm.
Cleaning
No glass cleaners — they roughen and dull the surface. Use warm water with washing-up liquid or a dedicated plastic cleaner. Stubborn dirt comes off with white spirit or isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol, available at any pharmacy).
Further processing
Acrylic glass GS can be milled, drilled and sawn, bonded with dichloromethane and, being a thermoplastic, formed at 160–180 °C.
Protective film
Acrylic glass always ships with a peelable protective film. Detach small parts from the film carefully — delicate pieces can break otherwise.
Bridges
For small parts under 15 × 15 mm, plan small bridges: interrupt the cut contour by at least 0.5–0.8 mm. All parts then stay safely in the sheet until they reach you — push them out by hand or free them carefully with a craft knife.
