Hi Sandra, it’d under diode tested products.
I’m a new diode laser. I am getting acquainted with what it will and will not do. I understand that there are limitations to the acrylics my diode will cut. But it really would be helpful, and increase your sales, if you could mark or cluster diode friendly acrylics.
