Acrylic fabrication — custom acrylic manufacturing — is the cutting, machining, polishing, bending, printing and assembly of cast acrylic sheet into finished parts. Wetop turns approved sketches, photos, CAD files and artwork into displays, cases, frames, trays, blocks and drawing-controlled components.

What can Wetop fabricate?
Cutting, CNC machining, polishing, bending, printing, assembly and inspection run under one roof in our 5,000 m² factory. One released file set controls each production step. See our supplier audit guide for the factory review.

Drawing-specific tolerances
Our standard working tolerance is ±0.2 mm unless the approved drawing states otherwise. Mark the dimensions that control fit, alignment, movement or mating parts. We confirm each process limit, edge acceptance and inspection method on the approval drawing and physical sample before production.

How your part moves through the factory
Each order follows the same route. A flat printed sign skips bending and an unprinted part skips printing; inspection is never skipped.
01Cut or machine
Sheet is cut to blanks, then laser-cut or CNC-machined to the released file. CNC or laser?
02Finish edges
Diamond, flame or cloth polished edges, matched to the approved sample. Polishing routes
03Bend or form
Strip-heated bends and thermoformed curves, held on a jig.
04Print or mark
UV, silk-screen, hot stamping or engraving, registered to the approved artwork.
05Bond and assemble
Solvent bonding in square fixtures, specified hardware and protective film.
06Inspect and pack
100% inspection against the approved sample, then protective packing. Quality standards

Materials and finishes
Acrylic glass, plexiglass, Lucite and PMMA describe the acrylic material in the buyer brief. We quote a named cast acrylic grade and supplier. Clear, colored, frosted, mirrored, glitter and UV-filtering grades are available; custom brand colors are confirmed on an approved sample.

What affects an acrylic fabrication quote?
Price depends on the released design and quantity, not a generic unit rate. We can separate FOB Shenzhen and DDP scopes in a written quote.
- Size, thickness and material grade
- Quantity and cutting yield
- Machining, finishing and branding
- Assembly, inspection and packaging
At 100 pieces per design, setup is a meaningful part of unit cost. At 500 pieces it is smaller; at 5,000+ pieces, optimized cutting layouts can reduce waste. CNC can avoid mold tooling for suitable parts: read CNC versus molded acrylic and MOQ economics.
How a custom acrylic order moves to production
Send what you have. Each gate is approved in writing before the next one starts, and the approved file and sample control the work.

Approve a paid sample
USD 200–500 depending on complexity, paid separately and never credited. Choose the scope: a visual sample for color, print and finish; a fit sample for mating dimensions and assembly; or a production-intent sample for the full part and packout.

Every piece is checked against the approved sample, then packed and shipped FOB Shenzhen or DDP.
What to send for a quote
- DXF, STEP, AI or a dimensioned PDF — or a sketch or photo
- Quantity per design and quote tiers
- Critical dimensions and mating parts
- Material, color and edge finish
- Print or engraving artwork (supplied by you)
- Packing and destination
No CAD file yet?
A labelled sketch or reference photo is enough to start. Our engineering team prepares a production drawing for your approval before anything is cut.

Can I order custom acrylic products without a CAD file?
Yes. Start with a sketch, reference photo or rough description. Add dimensions, quantity, material preference and branding details. Our engineering team creates a production drawing for approval before fabrication begins. If you already have production CAD, the CAD and DXF file preparation guide separates DXF profile files from STEP geometry and records controlling dimensions.
Can I change the design after approving a sample?
Yes, before bulk production begins. A change to dimensions, material, artwork, construction, fit or appearance may require a revised drawing, proof or paid sample. We identify the revised scope, timing and any setup charge before work resumes, then release production only after written approval.
What if the quote comes in over my budget?
Tell us your target price and we will show which specification inputs move the number. Common review points include material thickness where the structure allows it, part count, print route, quantity tier and packing scope. The seven display value-engineering levers show how to document those tradeoffs. Every approved change remains visible in the revised quote and drawing.
Does the 100-piece MOQ apply per design, or across my whole order?
MOQ is 100 pieces per design. A different printed artwork, shape, or size counts as a separate design, so quantities do not combine to clear the production floor. UV printing avoids screen plates and keeps artwork-change setup lower, but each design still needs 100 pieces for production. Use a paid sample to validate secondary designs before committing. Custom color matching may add material-sourcing and proofing setup; we state that charge in the quote.
Can I get pricing before my artwork and dimensions are final?
Yes. Send a reference photo, target size range and the quantity tiers under review. We can return an estimate against stated assumptions within 24 hours and identify which inputs still control the number. Final pricing is confirmed against the released dimensions, material, construction, artwork, packing and destination before sample production.
Can you help me choose between material options (clear vs frosted vs colored) for my product?
Yes. We compare visibility, surface appearance, color target, cleaning method, structural need and supplier availability before naming the material in the quote. If the decision is visual, request sample comparisons in the top two options before bulk production. More ordering questions about sample fees, payment, shipping and tolerances are answered on our full FAQ page.
What information is required for a custom acrylic fabrication quote?
Send the controlled dimensions, quantity per design, application, material or appearance target, critical tolerances, print or engraving artwork, assembly requirements, packaging, and destination. A sketch or reference photo is enough to start when you label the dimensions and identify what must fit, move, or align.
Should my acrylic part be laser-cut or CNC-machined?
Laser cutting suits sheet profiles and fast repeated outlines; CNC machining suits pockets, countersinks, stepped geometry, and controlled edge features. Thickness, edge requirement, tolerance, quantity, and visible surfaces determine the route. We state the proposed process on the quote and approval drawing.
How should I specify tolerances and critical dimensions?
Mark the dimensions that control fit, alignment, movement, or mating parts and state the acceptable range for each. Do not apply one tight tolerance to the whole drawing. We review whether the requested tolerance matches the process and confirm the inspection method before sampling.
Can I approve a paid prototype before the production MOQ?
Yes. A paid sample normally takes 3–5 days after the drawing and artwork are approved. Use it to check dimensions, fit, color, print, surface finish, assembly, and packaging; the 100-piece production run begins only after written sample approval and the agreed payment gate. The prototype-to-production bridge lists the release records to carry into bulk production.
Does Wetop provide full industrial design services?
No. We provide design-for-manufacture review, production drawings, material and process recommendations, and revisions needed to make a defined product buildable. Product strategy, user research, industrial-design concept development, certification design, and ownership of the product brief remain with the buyer or their designer.
Which approved file controls custom acrylic production?
The released production drawing and artwork revision control cutting, machining, print position, assembly, and inspection. If a later file changes a dimension, material, construction, or visual requirement, we issue a revised approval set and assess whether another paid sample is needed before production.
