MATERIALS

We can cut most wood up to a thickness of around 10mm, plastics that don’t contain PVC and card of any thickness. We aren’t able to cut any stone, glass or metals, though we may be able to mark the surface with our laser. The maximum size of materials that our laser can accept is 1200×700mm.

If you would like us to work with a material, please contact us and if we think it is safe to work with, can usually test a small sample to ensure you get the best results.

Nobody likes scorch marks so we can also offer a masking service for most materials to ensure that most of the surface burning doesn’t reach your material.

We keep a good stock of our most popular options in our workshop, including:
-Birch backed poplar ply from 3mm to 12mm

-MDF from 3mm to 12mm
-3mm clear acrylic
-1mm and 2mm thick greyboard
