Acrylic glass processing involves the creation of various acrylic products, such as display racks, light boxes, signage, illuminated letters, and boxes, all of which require four major processing techniques: sawing, cutting, bending, and sanding. Below, we provide a detailed introduction to the four primary processing methods for acrylic glass.
1. Sawing Processing: Material cutting with saws can be done both straight and curved. Generally, specialized saw blades are used for excellent cutting results, with bars often being cut using saws.
2. Turning Process: The turning process is performed using a lathe. When the processing dimensions of an acrylic display stand require extreme precision, lathe turning is necessary to ensure accurate sizing. It is crucial in the turning process to maintain clean and debris-free cutting tools to prevent scratching the acrylic.
3. Hot bending processing: We find many acrylic display racks are curved, which is achieved through hot bending processing. Hot bending requires a bending machine. First, the part of the sheet to be bent is softened by placing it on the hot bending machine, then bent along the edge of the table. After the temperature cools down, the angle is fixed in a curved shape.
4. File work: Filing is a finishing process. If the edges of cut acrylic are rough and sharp, filing is necessary to smooth them out, making them rounded and comfortable to the touch. Additionally, when dimensions are slightly off, filing can be used to make minor corrections to meet the required size.
