I’m scheming using the laser cutter to engrave/cut Delrin sheets to create Leather Stamps.
Do we know if the laser cutter would be able to engrave/cut Delrin?

@lasertechs can advise!
Trotec explicitly states that you can cut Delrin: https://www.troteclaser.com/en-gb/laserable-materials/laser-cutting-plastics
And here is a video of someone doing it on a Speedy 300! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJmm2Cu06pk
Happy to Buddy with you to explore this, and then we can partner with the leather fans to run a workshop.
I’m sure I have tried delrin or acetal in the past and remember finding it tricky to get the settings right. I would get some extra material for testing. I will see if I can dig out my notes on the testing I did.
It’s an excellent material for laser cutting - much stronger and less brittle than acrylic - but as above it takes a little fiddling to get the settings right.

I look forward to lots of experimenting
