What Are the Best Techniques for Acrylic Fabrication?

Faizo Hussain May 27

Hi everyone,

I'm exploring advanced methods in acrylic fabrication, especially for sign boards, display stands, and custom acrylic products. I’ve been working with laser cutting, bending, and UV printing, and I’m curious how others are optimizing their process for clean edges, durability, and branding.

Does anyone have experience with large-scale fabrication or tips on reducing cracking during drilling? What are your preferred bonding techniques – solvent cement or mechanical fasteners?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and sharing knowledge!

Cheers,

Hi Faizo, 

In our custom plastic fabrication shop, we’ve found that using a step drill bit and slower feed rates really helps prevent cracking during drilling. For bonding, we usually go with solvent cement for a cleaner, seamless look, especially on display stands. Mechanical fasteners work better when we need easy disassembly or extra strength. Curious what materials you’re using for UV printing, standard acrylic or something specialty?
