FAQ

    How much will it cost?

    Every quote is completely bespoke. First we run the files you provide through our laser cutter and calculate the the time it will take to cut and then we work out the amount and cost of material required. We believe in keeping it super simple and these two costs are clear on your quote.

    Do you have a minimum order value?

    No you can order as little as you like.

    Do you charge to check my files?

    We include a free file check with every quote before we run them through our laser cutting software.

    Do you offer a design service?

    Yes we do. To have us create and/or produce the cut files we charge £40 per hour billed in 15 min intervals (minimum half-hour charge). Contact us :- hello@laserbabesstudio.co.uk

    Can I order material sample swatches?

    Yes we can and provide you with sample swatches of any of our stock acrylics. All of our samples come with an engraved and etched area so you can see exactly how they look when laser cut.

    Do I have to use a whole sheet of material?

    No we only ever charge you for the area of material you use down to the nearest 10mm.

    What's the thickest material you can cut?

    The maximum thickness for acrylic cutting is approximately 10-12mm, while for wood cutting, it ranges from 6-9mm depending on the wood type.

    What is the kerf of your laser?

    The laser removes a tiny amount of material when cutting and is known as the kerf. Our laser cutter has a kerf of approximately 0.125mm.

    Can you cut metal?

    No our CO2 laser is not powerful enough for this.

    Can you cut other materials?

    Yes. We are able to acrylic, wood, MDF, laser ply, cork, paper, card, rubber, ABS, polypropylene and much more.

    If we have never worked with it before we may need a sample to ensure we get the laser set up just right.

    Can I send you my own material to be cut?

    Yes

    Can I get a quote me without sending files?

    No. We need vector files in .ai .dxf or .svg format. Follow our guide here or get in touch via email with any scanned pictures or artwork and we can advise you. Contact us :- hello@laserbabesstudio.co.uk
