Acrylic Laser Cutting Service
American Acrylics delivers precision acrylic laser cutting with tight tolerances, no order minimums, and fast turnaround — made right here in Lake Zurich, IL since 1973. Whether you need one prototype or a production run, we cut it right the first time.
What We Cut & How
Our laser cutting service handles both cast and extruded acrylic sheet in a wide range of thicknesses. The laser process produces smooth, flame-polished edges on most cuts, reducing or eliminating secondary finishing. We work with standard clear acrylic, colored acrylic, mirrored acrylic, and specialty grades including UV-filtering and abrasion-resistant sheet.
We hold tight tolerances suitable for display, industrial, and architectural applications — and our team reviews every order before cutting begins to flag potential issues before they become costly mistakes.
