|-
| Acrylic (PMMA,Plexiglass) || Yes || Yes || 15mm || Cuts very cleanly, leaves white powder when etching
|-
| PET || Yes || Yes(ish) || 8mm || Thin PET cuts fast and easily, thicker material tends to melt and brown a little at the edges, etching may leave melted residue
|-
| Polystyrene || Yes || Yes || 8mm || Cuts OK but does tend to leave sticky residue on the bed that will require extensive cleaning
|-
| Plywood || Yes || Yes || 12mm || Older/reclaimed plywood might produce toxic fumes. Laser-rated ply cuts cleanest and deepest
