I'm looking to cut some components from styrene and was hoping to laser cut them. They would be cut from 0.5mm and 1.5mm styrene.
I have heard there are some issues with laser cutting styrene such as poisonous fumes, melted edges and others. The laser I have access to has a full filter system and extracts outdoors so it's not an issue.
Is there anything I need to take into account or methods that would improve the cut quality.
