Acrylic sheet

An acrylic sheet is a transparent, lightweight, and durable material widely used in robotics for constructing robot frames, covers, or panels. Made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), it is also known as plexiglass or acrylic glass. Acrylic is a popular alternative to glass due to its high clarity, impact resistance, and ease of fabrication.

Key Features of Acrylic Sheets:

1. Durability: Highly impact-resistant and safer than glass, as it shatters less easily.
2. Lightweight: Weighs about 50% less than glass, making it easier to handle and transport.
3. Weather Resistance: Resistant to UV radiation and weathering, suitable for outdoor use.
4. Customizability: Easily cut, molded, drilled, engraved, or polished into various shapes and sizes.

This combination of properties makes acrylic sheets an ideal choice for versatile applications in robotics and beyond.
