CO2 laser will not mark metals- there are sprays that will make nice black marks on many metals after lasering [with CO2]. You would likely use a Fiber laser for marking metals.

How do you cut the ACM? I would cut the outline from Signgrade acrylic [impact modified] on the laser- if printed on pvc-free film it could be applied and then contour cut quite easily/quickly. Nice sign BTW

Very nice, I use a lot of corian [and similar] on both the CNC and CO2 laser.

I have bought lasers from Automation Tech- very satisfied.

Sounds expensive?

Cabinet makers always have sink cutouts that are usually not used. They are not white of course but some are pretty for some uses. There is also 1/4" available online- usually white, works great on the laser as well.

I consider my Prusa Mk3s a valuable essential tool and design in Fusion360 and print items for myself every day. I am sheltering at home for the duration and brought it home with me. I took it to the Keys last month also. I print almost exclusively PETG with great success.

Or exterior pvc- usually anything over 1/4" is exterior.

They now produce a ACM [aluminum composite material - plastic core .125 or .25 with alum faces] with steel faces. Cuttable with a saw and flat, if that might work.

I used to love to do tracing of logos when I had a sign business, very relaxing for me. And it is a nice logo- what is QB? Looks similar to a Bentley logo.

Not knowing how to do this properly,,, I have always used decimals , first number is the type of bit and go from there.

Leo- I use a lot of wood from Ocooch hardwoods- they have *very* nice scrollsaw wood and also .25 mdf core ply that cuts very nicely- more uniform than ply.

Corian and it's many variants are normally used for counter tops. It is normally .5" thick and I have gotten it from woodworking shops who have drops [unused scraps] and the cutouts from sink installations. I have also bought .25" which is used a lot for backlit lithograph carvings from ebay and Ama...
