This allows the material to be formed into the required shape or bent. Once the material cools below 85°C it becomes rigid again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAcrylic sheets are often shaped using a CNC router or laser cutter. The edge of laser cut Acrylic has a pleasing polished look. If you look carefully at the edge of a piece of laser cut Acrylic you can often see slight vertical lines that are caused by the pulses a laser uses when cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIf you want to get a perfectly smooth finish on the edge of piece of machined Acrylic a polishing technique can be used. Typical polishing techniques include diamond polishing and flame polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIt also possible to etch the surface of a Acrylic sheet using a laser cutter. This can produce some very pleasing visual effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMore detailed information and resources on working with Acrylic can be found in this \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kitronik.co.uk\/blogs\/resources\/tagged\/working-with-laser-materials\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Working with Materials\"\u003eresource section\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTolerances:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe manufacturing tolerance for the thickness of cast acrylic sheets are the stated thickness +\/-10% plus +\/- 0.4mm. This means a 5mm Acrylic sheet could be between 4.1mm and 5.9mm in thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePlease note that it is possible for there to be slight colour variations between batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe manufacturing process for these sheets can lead to variances in length and width measurements between batches. Tolerances of up to +\/- 1.7% are possible. The maximum we have recorded is plus 10mm to a length measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitronik","offers":[{"title":"5mm White Value Acrylic Sheet 600mm x 400mm Sheet","offer_id":54224487088455,"sku":"KI 43199","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5mm Black Value Acrylic Sheet 600mm x 400mm Sheet","offer_id":54224487121223,"sku":"KI 43198","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5mm Clear Value Acrylic Sheet 600mm x 400mm Sheet","offer_id":54224487153991,"sku":"KI 43200","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/6028\/6791\/files\/0045465_5mm-value-acrylic-sheet-600mm-x-400mm-range_22a86f38-7a58-4d40-a456-f09c08f95d37.webp?v=1782319632","url":"https:\/\/sgeducation.ie\/products\/5mm-value-acrylic-sheet-600mm-x-400mm-range","provider":"SG Education Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
