If you’re looking for a high-performance pink acrylic sheet for IR laser engraving, this guide explains why xTool Selected’s material is a great option, what machines it’s compatible with, and how to get the best results for creative and commercial projects.
Why Ordinary Pink Acrylic Sheet Fails with Infrared Lasers
Standard acrylic is typically transparent to 1064nm infrared wavelengths, which means:
- Weak or invisible engraving results
- Inconsistent contrast
- Poor depth definition
That’s why most IR laser users struggle with acrylic—unless the material is specifically formulated for infrared absorption.
What Makes xTool Selected Pink Acrylic Sheet Different
Optimized for Infrared Laser Engraving
Unlike generic acrylic sheets, xTool Selected Pink Acrylic is engineered to react strongly to infrared laser energy, producing:
- Darker, deeper engraved color
- Improved edge definition
- Cleaner, more readable designs
This makes it ideal for IR lasers, fiber lasers, MOPA lasers, and UV lasers, while still performing exceptionally well with CO₂ laser cutting and engraving.
Premium Cast Acrylic Construction
This sheet is made from cast acrylic, which is widely considered the best acrylic type for laser work.
Benefits of Cast Acrylic
- Smoother, burr-free cut edges
- Clearer engraved details
- Reduced melting and edge deformation
- Superior optical clarity
Whether you’re engraving text, graphics, or fine patterns, cast acrylic ensures professional-grade results.
Striking Pink Iridescent Finish
The pink iridescent-to-white two-tone effect gives this acrylic a premium aesthetic:
- Rich, saturated pink color
- Subtle hue shifts under changing light
- Glossy, flawless surface finish
This makes it especially popular for decorative, gift, and signage applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can pink acrylic be laser engraved?
Yes, pink acrylic can be laser engraved very effectively. Cast pink acrylic produces the best results, creating a frosted or lighter engraved appearance. When engraved with infrared (IR), CO₂, fiber, or UV lasers, specially formulated pink acrylic (such as IR-optimized sheets) can produce deeper color contrast and cleaner details than standard acrylic.
Is cast or extruded pink acrylic better for laser engraving?
Cast pink acrylic is strongly recommended for laser engraving. It engraves with higher contrast, smoother texture, and more consistent depth. Extruded acrylic tends to melt during engraving, resulting in glossy, less-defined markings.
Should I remove the protective film before laser engraving pink acrylic?
For engraving, it’s usually best to remove the protective film to achieve the cleanest detail and color contrast.
For cutting, leaving the film on can help reduce smoke residue and surface scratches—just ensure proper ventilation and air assist.
What are common uses for pink acrylic laser engraving projects?
Pink acrylic is widely used for:
Personalized gifts and name signs
Jewelry and earrings
Wedding and party décor
Holiday ornaments and decorations
Retail signage and display panels
Its rich color and light-reflective properties make it especially popular for decorative and commercial laser projects.
