How can parts made from PLEXIGLAS^® be machined?

PLEXIGLAS^® can be machined without any problems using suitable tools. These must be equipped with carbide-tipped blades (sawblades, for example). PLEXIGLAS^® can be thermoformed, blow-molded etc., as well as cold-curved. The minimum bending radius (R > 150 x D) must be observed during cold-curving. Moreover, PLEXIGLAS^® surfaces can be upgraded by treatment such as screening, painting, embossing, abrasion-resistant coating, etc.
