Laser cutting and engraving of ABS

BW Kunststoffe e.K. offers you tailor-made solutions in the areas of laser cutting and engraving of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), a thermoplastic plastic that is used in numerous industries. With state-of-the-art CO₂ laser technology, we manufacture precise and detailed components that meet the highest quality standards.

The CO₂ laser enables contact-free cutting to size of ABS sheets up to a size of 2200 mm x 1600 mm. Through this highly precise process, both simple and complex geometries can be realised. In addition, the laser offers excellent possibilities for engraving ABS surfaces, e.g. for logos, serial numbers or individual designs.

Advantages of laser cutting ABS

Laser cutting ABS offers numerous advantages that make it a preferred method in plastic processing. Compared with conventional processes such as milling or sawing, laser cutting requires no fixing or post-processing and leaves no swarf.

• Precision: Through the use of the laser, cuts with an accuracy of up to 0.1 mm are possible.
• Clean edges: Smooth cut edges eliminate the need for post-processing.
• Gentle on the material: The contact-free process minimises the risk of breakage and material waste.
• High efficiency: Particularly in series production, the use of the laser significantly increases productivity, e.g. through the use of a shuttle table system.

Engraving ABS with a laser

As well as precise cutting, the laser also offers an efficient way to engrave ABS. This allows individual markings such as logos, serial numbers or other designs to be applied permanently and with a high level of detail to the surface.

• Highly precise engravings: Even the smallest details can be cleanly introduced into the material.
• Long-lasting markings: The engraving penetrates deep into the ABS surface and thus ensures abrasion-resistant and permanent identification.
• Individual designs: With the laser you can realise complex and creative designs without the need for expensive tools.

Areas of application for laser cutting and engraving ABS

Laser cutting and engraving ABS is used in numerous industries, particularly where precise and long-lasting plastic parts are required:

• Electronics housings: Precise and robust housings for electronic devices.
• Prototype construction: Fast and cost-effective production of prototypes for product development.
• Automotive industry: Production of components for interior fittings and technical components.
• Promotional items: Engraved logos and designs on promotional and display items.
