Hi everybody!I'm looking for some special type of material that I could engrave with a CNC machine. This means two layers: one that is painted(wich I will engrave) and the other one,behind, that lets the light go through. I've read about perspex but I' m not sure that it has two layers. Anyone has some web adress to give me or some infos about this type of product?Thank you very much!!:-)

I make 3d panels with 2 layers , so they are no good to me.I use white perspex and mill the paint I put on it away. So mt characters are white too. Later on you can paint in the white characters for an even better effectReagrdsNorbert

Thank you Norbert,I've read about your way of engraving but I thought we wouldnt be able to get a result ala Flightdecksolutions;) using this method(specialy because, either your paint is thick and you can see that after you engraved or,on the contrary, it's not thick enough and paint layer is damaged when you engrave). Could you share your personal experience about this and your satisfaction/unstatisfaction concerning the result you get.Thank you!

In fact I had some troubles when I started to engrave. Some parts of the characters A (the little triangle) and E (between the horizontal lines) were coming off when engraving. I discussed this in another very recent thread (working on plexi with cnc)I did what I learned there, I sanded the plexi and used another special plastic primer. Now it works fine. I hope to show the pics in a few days.Norbert
