How Our CNC Laser Cutting Process Works at KF Plastics
At KF Plastics, our Sydney-based laser cutting process is streamlined for efficiency, precision, and client satisfaction. From initial consultation to final delivery, we ensure every step aligns with your project needs. Here’s a breakdown:
Step 1: Design Consultation and File Preparation
We start with a consultation to understand your project. Whether it’s a simple signage cut or complex architectural prototype. Upload your designs via our request a quote form file upload or email. We accept vector files like .AI, .EPS, .DXF, .DWG, STEP, or .SVG (as noted in our FAQ). Our team reviews for compatibility, suggests optimisations (e.g., adjusting for material thickness), and handles some conversions if needed. If you do not have vector artwork, we offer design assistance for a small fee depending on complexity, ensuring paths are vectorized for clean cuts.
Step 2: Material Selection and Setup
Based on your requirements (e.g., durability for outdoor signage or product fit for retail displays), we recommend from our wide range of materials like acrylic for high gloss finishes or PETG for impact resistance. We source high quality sheets in house, set up the machine and toolpath program with precise parameters (e.g., laser power, speed, and focus settings), and perform test cuts on scrap material to calibrate for perfection. This step minimises waste and ensures a good quality cut and is within cutting tolerances.
Step 3: Precision Cutting and Finishing
Our advanced CNC lasers (more on equipment below) execute the cuts with a high level of accuracy, handling intricate details without damage. The process is automated for consistency across batches, with constant monitoring to catch any issues. Post-cutting, we can provide additional services including line bending, thermoforming or engraving for added detail.
Step 4: Quality Control and Delivery
Every piece undergoes inspection for tolerances, edges, and defects. We package securely and offer fast Sydney delivery (3-5 days standard) or pickup. If adjustments are needed, we iterate quickly. This process supports everything from prototyping to large-scale manufacturing, with fast turnarounds for urgent jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Cutting
Clean with a mild soapy warm water solution using a soft cloth or sponge. Never use window cleaners (like Windex) or abrasive scouring pads, as these will damage the surface. For best results, use a specialized plastic polish like our antistatic cleaner. For a complete step-by-step guide and expert tips, please read our full article on How to Clean Acrylic Sheet: A Guide to Maintenance and Care
Acrylic is 50% lighter than glass and has much higher impact resistance. It also offers better optical clarity, transmitting 92% of visible light compared to glass’s 90%.
There is no actual difference in the material. Perspex® is a brand name for acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate). Whether you call it Acrylic, Perspex, or Plexiglass, you are referring to the same high-quality plastic.
While they look identical, they have different properties. Cast Acrylic is made by pouring liquid into a mould. It is harder, better for machining and laser cutting (it engraves white), but has slightly variable thickness tolerances. Extruded Acrylic is pushed through rollers. It has very consistent thickness and is cheaper to make in markets of high demand, making it ideal for glazing, but it can melt if laser cut or drilled at high speeds. We primarily stock Cast Acrylic for its superior fabrication qualities
Turnaround depends on job size, but most small to medium runs are ready within 3–5 business days. Rush jobs can often be arranged, just contact us to confirm lead time.
Absolutely. Our team can check and prepare your files for cutting, ensuring proper line weights, spacing, and vector paths. We can also convert your design to a suitable laser ready format if required (charge may apply).
We specialise in plastic laser cutting, including acrylic (Perspex), PETG, MDF (for push through signage) and polypropylene. We also engrave certain coated metals and laminates, depending on the project requirements.
Our laser can cut acrylic and Perspex up to 25 mm thick with smooth, flame-polished edges. For thicker materials or other plastics, we can advise whether CNC routing is a better option.
We accept vector files such as .AI, .EPS, .DXF, .DWG, STEP and .SVG. PDF and high resolution .JPEG files can also be used for reference, but vector artwork gives the best precision and cut quality.
