I can give a short answer to this: there is absolutely no difference. This is because acrylic is the usual abbreviation for polymethyl methacrylate, and Plexiglas® is one of the many brand names of this plastic. Over time this brand name has become generic as 'plexiglass'.
Acrylic has become a popular material for laser cutting and engraving. It's often used in the production of acrylic products, such as signs, furniture, jewellery or other types of art.

Acrylic has become a popular material for laser cutting and engraving. It's often used in the production of acrylic products, such as signs, furniture, jewellery or other types of art. But when purchasing acrylic for laser cutting and engraving, there is a few things you should take into consideration.
First of all, there is 2 main types, Cast Acrylic; works better for engraving and provides a nice frosted look and, Extruded Acrylic; is great for cutting out designs and is generally more expensive such as cake toppers, so if you are supplying the material be sure to purchase the right type.
Next, you have many options on color and appearance, this is just some of the options that I can offer Colored, Mirrored, Glitter, Iridescent, Clear, Fluorescent, ,LED, Transparent, Frosted, Naturals, Pastel, Neon, Metallic, Duo Perspex, Satins, and many more.
And finally don’t by cheap plastic sheets online. These generally contain high levels of chlorine. Which are released during the cutting/engraving process.
This can result in;
• Increased levels of heat resulting in the acrylic warping
• Unsightly stains left after the cutting/engraving process
• The gases released are toxic and bad for the environment.
• It can cause bubbling to form when engraving and cutting.
