The material has a finely matted surface on two sides. The matted surface feels and looks sandblasted, but the effect is achieved during the casting process and results in a less \"sharp\" texture than with sandblasted surfaces. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSatin acrylic has many applications, mainly in decorative industries. The material can be found in display cases, interior design, displays, facade advertising, (name) signs, and scale models, among other things. It is very beautiful when used with LED lighting, as the translucent light is softly diffused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign considerations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are few restrictions when cutting acrylic. For finger joints, it is important to take into account the thickness tolerances of acrylic to prevent internal stresses and thus cracks or breakage.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlso, acrylic in thin or long strips is relatively fragile and susceptible to warping due to the heat released during cutting, so take this into account in the design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaser cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcrylic has protective film on both sides, which fully protects the sheets before, during, and after cutting. The cut is clean, smooth, and the same color as the material. Engraved areas have a slightly whiter color compared to the material. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the design only contains cutting and engraving lines, we leave the film on both sides. If the design contains engraved areas, we must remove the film from the top, in some cases a small amount of smoke may adhere to the material or small scratches may occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePost-processing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn principle, acrylic does not need post-processing due to the high quality of the material. The material can subsequently be glued, printed, sawn, sanded, milled, and bent. For each processing step, it is important to take into account that the cutting process puts pressure on the cutting edge; if the acrylic is subsequently processed, small cracks may occur in some cases. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo give line and area engravings greater contrast, they can be filled with paint (color fill). If the excess paint is then removed, the paint remains in the grooves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDepending on whether there are engraved areas in the design,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethe material has protective film on both the front and back, or only on the back.
