The presented article describes and characterizes laser cutting of PMMA, the impact of the laser beam on the PMMA material and compares it with a conventionally using cutting of plastic material - milling. In the experimental part is compare sample shown in Fig. 4 which was cutting by using a laser beam, milling and the sample which has been cut by laser but was modified by drying, which change properties of the material after cutting.

Keywords: laser cutting, milling, plastic materials, PMMA
