To speed the process up, I have had promising results from wrapping small freshly-cut pieces in a foil bundle and putting the bundle into gentle heat (100-120F) for a couple of hours. Laser-cut wood tends to smell like a campfire.A wipe with mineral spirits will clean that up. Some types of plastic end up with tacky edges where the cut happened.Annealing the plastic by leaving it for a couple of hours in gentle heat just below the material’s softening point sometimes helps. Narrow lines bend from the heat, and pieces can get a slight “bowl” shape as the corners lift up. Very thin plastics can deform from the heat of the laser.The job goes well, but closer inspection reveals something undesirable but inherent to the process or material used. ![]()
