Charging for it means it gets done properly rather than guessed at — and it is credited in full against the cutting if you go ahead. If the file turns out not to be cuttable at all, we tell you why and refund it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat we cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcrylic\u003c\/strong\u003e — cast, up to 20 mm, clear, coloured, frosted and mirrored\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTimber\u003c\/strong\u003e — plywood, MDF, hardwood and cardboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecialty plastics\u003c\/strong\u003e and two-colour laminates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBed size\u003c\/strong\u003e — up to 1400 mm wide with a pass-through, so length is limited by handling and freight rather than by the machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not cut metal, PVC or polycarbonate. PVC releases chlorine gas on a CO₂ laser, which ruins the machine and is genuinely dangerous, so we refuse it whoever is asking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSending your text or artwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend the wording, or a logo as SVG, DXF, AI, PDF or EPS. Vector files cut directly; a raster image can be traced, at some design cost, and the edge is only as good as the source. A dimensioned layout goes to you for approval before anything is cut — engraving is permanent, so a typo is a remake rather than an edit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStandard sizes need no setup at all and are cheaper — see \u003ca href=\"\/products\/acrylic-cut-to-size-panels\"\u003eacrylic\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/plywood-cut-to-size-panels\"\u003eplywood\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mdf-cut-to-size-panels\"\u003eMDF\u003c\/a\u003e cut to size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut in our workshop at Eatons Hill in north Brisbane and shipped Australia-wide.
