MDF 3 mm

3 mm medium-density fibreboard, laser cut. It's the low-cost material for models, signs, letters, templates and indoor decoration. The edge comes out toasted by the cut itself: it isn't sanded or polished, that's the finish the laser gives it and part of the look of the part.

Toasted edge, ready as it is

The laser leaves a dark edge: it isn't sanded or polished, that's the board's finish and part of the look of the part.

Cut to the exact size

Any size up to 800 × 400 mm with a tolerance of ±0.5 mm. No surcharge for unusual dimensions.

Indoor use only

Moisture makes it swell and it doesn't return to shape. For anything that will be outdoors, acrylic (PMMA) is a better choice.
