We like to refer to Acrylic as the wonder plastic. Originally used in World War II for airplane windows and canopies, acrylic has evolved to a plethora of new usages. Thanks to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, versatility, and weather resistance, acrylic has found success across many industries.
Acrylic is typically about 10 times more resistant to impact than standard glass.

We guarantee awesome quality parts. If you’re not 100% happy, we’ll give you a refund or remake on the spot – no questions, no hassle.
Your acrylic parts will come with a removable film on each side to protect them during handling and transit. Your parts may come with different films, even if they are duplicates of the same part.
Mirrored acrylic will only have a protective film on the front side, while the back side is dull grey. We will cut your part mirrored side up. Our mirrored acrylic creates a true mirror without blur. The material is completely opaque.
The orientation of your part as shown in the part preview will be considered the top side.
