Hi all,

I'm new to the laser scene. I've been plotting and thermal printing with vector art for years, and figured jumping to a beam instead of a blade would prove interesting. I bought an 80w CO2 laser (Thunderlaser) and it is due to be delivered next week.

I live in WI and am looking forward to learning the system. That said, I have absolutely no idea where to source substrates/materials/specialty media etc.

Can anyone recommend suppliers (preferably in the upper midwest)for acrylic and other specialty stock or laser-ready products?

Thanks in advance! I'm sure I will be frequenting this forum in the days ahead.

Nate
