Cast acrylic

Sheet and rod stock are generated by casting into static forms, while tubing is done in rotational molds.

It has better thermal stability, higher resistance to crazing when exposed to solvents, wider thermoforming range than extruded acrylic.

Cast acrylic has a better ability to be reworked hot and it is known for its superior surface finish and optical properties.

Cast acrylic is also preferred over extruded in applications that require machinings, such as turning on Engine Lathe or milling/drilling.

It tends to be more clear and made to a higher quality standard, but in doing so makes it more expensive than extruded acrylic.
