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.

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
-1.4mm Snow White mountboard
-1.2mm Black core mountboard
-Oiled Manila stencil card
-Mylar stencil plastic

Other materials can be ordered in to be cut, usually within 2-3 working days!
