Preset guide
Acrylic sheet cutting layout preset
Use this page to arrange rectangular acrylic pieces and estimate waste. Acrylic cutting quality depends heavily on tool, feed rate, support, masking, and edge finishing, so treat the layout as planning output only.
| Setting | Example | Review before cutting |
|---|---|---|
| Stock size | Metric acrylic sheet example | Use the exact supplier sheet size. |
| Kerf | Saw, laser, or router allowance | Cutting process changes the material removed. |
| Parts | Panels, windows, guards, inserts | Confirm finished dimensions and edge quality needs. |
| Output | Layout and offcuts | Verify handling and support before cutting. |
Acrylic-specific boundary
StockCut does not decide laser settings, chip control, melting risk, masking, or polishing allowance. Include any extra finishing allowance in your entered part sizes if your process requires it.
| Issue | Handled by layout? | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Kerf spacing | Yes, as entered | Measure your process. |
| Melted edge allowance | No | Add separate finishing allowance if needed. |
| Masking and scratches | No | Plan handling outside the optimizer. |
| Crack/chip risk | No | Use proper cutting setup. |
Use case
This page is best for simple rectangular acrylic panels where you already know finished sizes and want to reduce sheet waste before cutting or ordering material.
