Quick Question on cutting acrylic?

I was wondering if there was a reason that the Thunder Lasers kick up so much dust when I’ve cut and engraved clear or colored acrylics

The material the Laser is vaporizing is reflecting light. We will be reviewing the exhaust system and measuring the air flow.

Consider joining us Saturday for Laser Service Day and checking things out.

Is there a particular machine you were using? Donner, Blitzen or Big thunder?

There could be several reason you were seeing a lot of smoke…

Probably running it too hot. And make sure air is off for engrave. If you have pictures we can help trouble shoot
