Laser Cutting & Engraving in Honolulu
We laser cut and engrave acrylic and engraving sheet in our shop in Iwilei: signs, plaques, name tags, logos and display parts. One piece or a production run.
Our large laser cuts sheets up to 7′ x 10′. Two smaller lasers handle detailed engraving. The laser leaves acrylic with a clean, polished edge, so most parts are ready to use as they come off the machine.
Not sure if you need the laser or the CNC router?
Tell us about the part. We’ll recommend the right machine for the material and the edge you want.

the right material for the laser
Materials we laser
- Acrylic, cast and extruded, clear and colored. The laser leaves a polished edge.
- Laser engraving sheet, two-tone sheet for signs, plaques and name tags. Stocked in Iwilei.
Polycarbonate and PVC don’t laser well, so we cut those on the CNC router instead. See our CNC routing service.
We match the machine to the material, so you get a clean result.

Questions
Common questions
Can you engrave my logo?
Yes. Send it as a vector file (.ai, .eps, .svg, .dxf or .pdf) for the sharpest result. If you only have an image, send it and we’ll tell you what we can do with it.
Laser or CNC router?
The laser is best for detail, engraving and acrylic parts with a polished edge. The CNC router is better for thick sheet, polycarbonate, PVC and HDPE. We’ll pick the right one for your part.
Is there a minimum order?
One piece is fine. Engraving has a small minimum charge per order. Ask for a quote and we’ll tell you up front.
How fast can I get it?
It depends on the job. We reply within one business day with a quote and a lead time.
