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 →

Description
Pastel-coloured acrylic glass GS — PERSPEX Sweet Pastels in the original. The front is matt, the back glossy; we always laser with the matt side up, so engravings end up on the matt face.
The matt side resists scratches and fingerprints, making it a good fit 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.
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.
