You are to be commended on your diligence seeking out the technical information and submitting it to the committee for review. Not a lot of people willing to go that level of effort to get a well-informed answer.

Pelican case are made from the same stuff…
I’ve used the lasers to engrave them… it has a tendency to melt.



This is ~5mm thick SRPP (Self Reinforcing Polypropylene, generic name for Tegris) cut on a 100w CO2 Laser (not the DMS). Once you dial in your settings it cuts really nicely with minimal over melting and clean up.

I know this is an old topic but where have you been able to get 5mm thick Tegris? I would love to get some for robot parts for our robotics team.
