As aluminum contains high thermal conductivity and is reflective a higher concentration of laser power is needed to initiate cuts compared to steel s less.

																	By far acrylic is the cheapest material to laser cut. 
															
													
								
	
		
	
																	All metals are reflective to co 2 laser beams until a certain power density threshold value is reached. 
																	I get about using shiny side down but will household foil cut. 
																	I ve done some searching and read through the responses but haven t actually seen anyone that has tried to vector cut aluminum foil. 
																	Most laser cutting machines use a laser beam aligned normal to a flat sheet of material.
