Your Guide to Materials for Precision Laser Engraving, Cutting & Metal Marking
We take great pleasure in working with a wide variety of materials, from woods and acrylics, to metals, fabrics and more.
Each material reacts differently to the laser cutting, engraving or marking process, so to ensure the final outcome meets your expectations, we may need to create test samples beforehand, particularly when working with new or unfamiliar materials.
Having worked with many of the different materials, we offer expert guidance in selecting the right material, thickness, and approach to ensure the final product aligns with your vision and performs as intended.
We hold a very small amount of standard materials in stock, ie. plywood, MDF and some acrylics, but most materials will be ordered specifically for your project's needs through our trusted network of suppliers, subject to availability.
If you prefer to provide your own materials, we are happy to accommodate this. However, for best results, we may require the datasheets to understand how your material will respond to the laser process. In the absence of datasheets, testing and sampling will be required to determine suitability, which will incur extra charges.
Our expertise extends beyond the materials listed on our website, so if you don’t see what you need, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always ready to discuss your project, explore solutions, and help bring your ideas to life with precision and care.
