Re: Polycarbonate
NEVER CUT POLYCARBONATE!!! It dissolves in Chlorid and acid. Damaging your laser and your health.

Re: Polycarbonate
Polypropylene, polyethylene and polycarbonate all generate benzene, which is a carcinogen, during laser cutting. ( you should never cut this without using a suitable filtration system that is designed to remove these emissions )
Polystyrene releases styrene, while PVC emits hydrogen chloride ( which can result in Hydrochloric acid).
Many plastics also give off extreemely fine particles plus carcinogenic polycyclic hydrocarbons.
