Creating 3D Acrylic Letters

Material selection

To keep things simple, we will be using a CAST acrylic in 3 or 5 mm thickness. (Extruded Acrylics are not really suited to fabricating letters)Cast Acrylic has excellent forming properties for building up 3-dimensional lettering with the added bonus that if you get it wrong you can throw the return back in the oven and start again as the material will return to its flat piece form.I tend to use 3mm on smaller letters say up to 350 to 450mm in height and 5mm on anything bigger going up . . .
