    PVC is one of the materials, you should never cut on a laser cutter !
    ... during the cuting process (or burning) chlorine is released from the PVC (PVC = Poly Vinil Chloride) and the chloride will:
    - damage your equipment
    - hurt/poison the operator

    So again:

    NEVER EVER CUT PVC ON A LASER CUTTER !

    I didn't know the risk/harm of cutting PVC by laser, thanks for the quick reply. Now I need to find some other material or cutting method.

    If its one off work i would suggest a cnc router, but if you want to make the same thing in production u should get a punch press
