Acrylic is a beautiful, versatile material. It can be used to make everything from jewelry to furniture to architectural models. There are several different methods of bending acrylic that has proven effective from time to time when working with this material:

·         Fabric steamer

Fabric steamers are handheld devices that use steam to soften acrylic. They can be used for a variety of things, including bending acrylic to make curved edges and corners, as well as forming plastic sheets into different shapes. 

·         Heat gun

A heat gun is a tool that uses heat to bend acrylic. Heat guns are used in the construction industry, for example, to bend PVC pipes.

·         Hot air welder

A hot air welder is a tool that can be used to weld or glue acrylic together. It uses heated air to melt the pieces of acrylic into one piece of plastic. The process works by using high heat from an electric heating element in the nozzle of the tool and then sending that heat through tubes to a tip that melts both sides of the plastic together. The melted plastic becomes smooth, shiny, and clear again after cooling down. 

·         Laser cutter

Laser cutters are machines that use a laser to cut materials. The process of laser cutting is called "laser engraving". A laser beam is focused on the material and the material heats up, melts, or vaporizes and the surface of it gets lifted away from surrounding areas creating a hole or an opening in the material. The process can be used to create objects from plastic, wood, and metal by removing parts of those materials with heat to create a design.

·         The oven method

If you are looking for a way for acrylic bonding that is easy, then the oven method is your best option. This technique requires heat, which can be accomplished by using a heat gun or by placing the acrylic in an oven set at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. Once your project has been heated to the appropriate temperature, use a heat gun (or another tool) to bend it into its desired shape.

·         Thermoforming

A Thermoforming bending machine is a machine that uses heat and pressure to mold acrylic sheets into shapes. It's perfect for making signs or trophies, but can also be used to create other small items like jewelry boxes.

·         CNC router Takeaway:

CNC routers are used to cut, carve and engrave 3D objects. CNC routers are used to make custom signs, nameplates, and trophies. These machines can be used to cut out shapes in a variety of materials like wood, plastic, and metal.

In the end, you should choose the method that best fits your project. There are many tools available to help you achieve prismatic acrylic bending. Get the knowledge of these tools deeply before planning to use any.
