Materials

Stainless Steel

Useful to know

Available Thinknesses: 1mm | 2mm | 3mm | 4mm

Suitable for interior design, facades, signage, prototypes, etc. Can be used for outside purposes without treatment.

Finishing treatments

Steel can easily be painted after laser cutting. It is recommended to wipe off the plate with acetone (or similar) before painting.

Carbon Steel

Useful to know

Available Thinknesses:1mm | 2mm | 3mm | 4mm | 5mm | 6mm | 8mm | 9mm | 10mm

Suitable for interior design, facades, signage, prototypes, etc.

Finishing treatments

Steel can easily be painted after laser cutting. It is recommended to wipe off the plate with acetone (or similar) before painting.

Aluminum

Useful to know

Available Thinknesses: 1mm | 2mm

Aluminium is often used when you need high strength compared to the weight. The metal is often used as an alternative to steel and is suitable for signage, prototypes, etc. Aluminium does not corrode and can hence be used for outside purposes.

Finishing treatments

Aluminium is soft and can easily be bent by hand. Aluminium can easily be painted after laser cutting.

Brass

Useful to know

Available Thinknesses: 1mm | 2mm

Suitable for indoor and outdoor signage, furniture, art and architecture. Our brass is gently brushed on the top side. The plate is delivered with protective film to reduce any small markings that can appear on the surface after the laser cutting.

Finishing treatments

Brass is relatively soft and can easily be bent by hand. It is also possible to polish brass to get a completely blank surface after the laser cutting.

Acrylic

Useful to know

Available Thinknesses: 3mm | 5mm | 8mm | 10mm | 15mm | 20mm | 25mm

Acrylic is often used for signage, jewellery, windows, screens, lids, furniture and aquariums.

Finishing treatments

When heated, acrylic can be bent for products such as hinges. You will get the best results by using a bendable template (can be made in i.e. MDF) and a hair dryer or other means of heating up the material first. You can write on acrylic with whiteboard markers and magic markers. Acrylic can be cleaned with soap and water. Contact adhesive or epoxy can be used if the material is to be assembled with the same or other materials.

MDF

Useful to know

Available Thinknesses: 3mm | 5mm | 8mm | 10mm | 15mm

MDF is often used for templates, tests and prototypes, models making, props, furniture, jewellery and displays. As MDF is a composite product, colour can vary from sheet to sheet. Raster engraving is only possible in A formats.

Finishing treatments

Both vector and raster engraving are possible. The material gains a darker colour in the engraved areas. The thicker the engraving, the darker the colour. Raster engraving is only possible if you send us email or by uploading a design for manual pricing.

Plywood

Useful to know

Available Thinknesses: 3mm | 5mm | 8mm | 10mm | 12mm

Construction plywood is widely used for many purposes, e.g. furniture, constructions, pavilions, artwork and packaging. The material is made up of layers of spruce veneer and is therefore less expensive than birch plywood.Construction plywood typically has one more attractive side, where knots and similar defects have been smoothed out and improved, and one side that may contain knots, dents and similar defects.

Finishing treatments

Plywood can be used untreated, but can be painted, oiled or lacquered to seal and protect the surface.

Cardboard / Matboard

Useful to know

Available Thinknesses: 1mm | 2mm | 3mm | 7mm

Corrugated cardboard is suitable for packaging prototypes, templates and inexpensive decorations. 3mm corrugated cardboard consists of 1 layer, whilst 7mm consists of 2 layers.

Finishing treatments

Corrugated cardboard can be painted, and it is also easy to bend and cut.
