Impact resistant/durable laser compatible material

#1

Hi,

What laser compatible material is best for strength, durability and impact resistance?

Similar maybe to polypropylene, PET, ABS or even PLA.

Thanks

Hi @RobertL, have you tried polycarbonate? May not be ideal for lase cutting, but strength and impact resistance should be very good.

Thanks I’ll check it out. I’d rather be able to laser cut it. Potentially a milling machine would do the job but then I may as well use a coping saw
