When it comes to acrylic laser cutting in Melbourne, there is no company more suited to the job than V&R Laser. Acrylic plastic is a highly versatile material that is widely used in an extensive variety of products, from consumer electronics and vehicles to everyday products and much more. Also commonly referred to as Perspex, it’s a material that is favoured for its durability, strength, weather resistance and ability to maintain its colour. Clear acrylic sheets are renowned for their superior optical clarity and resistance to ultraviolet light. With our laser cutting services, acrylic is a known and highly popular choice for manufacturing signs, point-of-sale displays, visual merchandising and a whole range of other products.
Vector & Raster Laser Services specialises in custom laser cut acrylic, ensuring that whether you’re a commercial client or a DIY-er off the street completing a project, we’ll cut exactly what you need.

Laser cut acrylic is well known for its lovely flame polished edge. With any job processed on our acrylic laser cutter, we’re able to achieve this quality edge as well as extremely high detailed and crisp laser engraving. Acrylic is available in a variety of thicknesses, finishes and also comes in a huge range of stunning colours. It is commonly used in craft applications such as ornaments, jewellery, invitations, swing tags and more. Whether it’s custom wedding decor, keychains, or layered wall art, our expert craftsmanship brings your visions to life. Discover the beauty of acrylic through mirror-like finishes and unique designs.
We work with the full range of acrylic types — clear, frosted, mirrored, coloured (including fluorescent and opaque options), and two-tone layered acrylic. Whether you need cast acrylic for engraving-heavy applications like awards and trophies, or extruded acrylic for clean-cut signs and panels, we’ll advise on the right material for your finish and application. We also cut acrylic in a wide range of thicknesses, from 2mm through to 20mm, and can supply acrylic sheets or process your own material.
Furthermore, it is also widely used in signage, logos, displays, architectural models and many other applications. We want you to experience efficiency and affordability as your projects evolve into stunning acrylic designs.

Can you laser cut acrylic?
Yes. Acrylic (also known as Perspex) is one of the best materials for laser cutting. It produces clean, flame-polished edges in a single cut — no secondary finishing required. We cut clear, frosted, mirrored, coloured, and two-tone acrylic in thicknesses from 2mm to 20mm. Laser cut acrylic is ideal for signs, displays, awards, jewellery, architectural models, and a wide range of commercial and craft applications. We service clients across Melbourne and Australia-wide.
What do you need to laser cut acrylic?
At its basics, we require a vector file with your design of choice. We have state-of-the-art laser machines and can supply the acrylic sheets. The laser heats and vaporises sections of the material to create various shapes. Our leading machines are optimised to cut acrylic without damaging the material. Our cutting services require a high level of expertise because insufficient knowledge can lead to material damage. That is why it is always best to get your design cut by our experts.
How strong of a laser do you need to cut acrylic?
This is variable, but as a fundamental guide, it is generally 10W for every millimetre of acrylic sheet. Our top-quality machines can cut all kinds of acrylic sheets with varying thickness. Generally, the more power the machine has, the more efficient the process becomes and the better the quality of the cut. Please speak to one of our experts today to discuss how we can suit your needs and requirements.
Is Perspex the same as acrylic?
Perspex is the brand name for premium acrylic sheets. Not all acrylic sheets are created equal and some poor quality sheets are subject to weathering and ageing. We like working with Perspex due to its high quality, but also stock other quality acrylic sheets that are more than suitable for most jobs. Perspex sheets vary in thickness, colour and finishings to suit your requirements. Any Perspex sheet is recyclable, weather resistant, easy to clean and very durable.
Can I have a quote over the phone?
Sorry, but we cannot provide a quote over the phone, laser engraving and laser cutting prices can vary dramatically based on the design and material being processed, we require artwork to provide an accurate quote.
Can you create the correct artwork for me?
Yes, if you are unable to provide the required artwork for processing your order we can create the files for you no matter what process you intend on using whether it be laser engraving or cutting.
What type of files do you require?
We require a vector file which has been created in a graphics program, acceptable types include eps, cdr, ai, dxf, dwg and pdf. Cut lines should consist of a red outline with no fill using a .001mm stroke width, areas to be engraved should be in black fill. Only photographs will be accepted as a high resolution jpeg or bitmap.
Can I supply my own materials?
Yes, if you prefer to supply your own materials we are happy to process them for you providing that they are suited to the laser process, a test sample is recommended for perfect results when processing your order.

We supply acrylic laser cutting services to clients across Melbourne, regional Victoria, and nationally through our online laser cutting service. You can upload your artwork, receive a quote, and have your order delivered Australia-wide.
What is the difference between cast and extruded acrylic?
Cast acrylic is made from liquid acrylic poured into moulds. When laser engraved, it produces a frosted white finish that is ideal for awards, trophies, and decorative pieces where contrast matters. Extruded acrylic is manufactured through a continuous process and produces a cleaner, flame-polished cut edge. When engraved, it gives a clear rather than frosted result, making it the standard choice for signage, panels, and displays. If you’re unsure which type suits your project, we’re happy to advise.
Can you laser cut mirrored or coloured acrylic?
Yes. We work with the full range of acrylic finishes including clear, frosted, mirrored (silver, gold, and coloured mirror), opaque, translucent, fluorescent, and two-tone layered acrylic. If you have a specific colour or finish in mind, contact us to confirm current availability before ordering.
