| === Safe Materials for Cutting ===
| |
| ** Plastics:
| |
| *** ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)
| |
| *** Acrylic (also known as Plexiglas, Lucite, PMMA)
| |
| *** Delrin (POM, acetal)
| |
| *** High density polyethylene (HDPE) – melts badly
| |
| *** Kapton tape (Polyimide)
| |
| *** Mylar (polyester)
| |
| *** Nylon – melts badly
| |
| *** PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol)
| |
| *** Polyethylene (PE) – melts badly
| |
| *** Polypropylene (PP) – melts somewhat
| |
| *** Styrene
| |
| *** Two-tone acrylic – top color different than core material, usually for custom instrumentation panels, signs, and plaques.
| |
| ** Foam:
| |
| *** Depron foam – often used for RC planes.
| |
| *** EPM
| |
| *** Gator foam – foam core gets burned and eaten away compared to the top and bottom hard shell.
| |
| ** Other:
| |
| *** Cloths (leather, suede, felt, hemp, cotton)
| |
| *** Papers
| |
| *** Rubbers (only if they do not contain chlorine Teflon (PTFE, Polytetrafluoroethylene)
| |
| *** Woods (MDF, balsa, birch, poplar, red oak, cherry, holly, etc.)

| ** Polycarbonate (PC, Lexan) due to the fumes.
| |
| ** Any material containing chlorine such as PVC & Vinyl
