Laser cutting is ideal for making wooden parts. It is fast, inexpensive and precise. Moreover, it is very easy to draw and order something.
Some types of wood are much nicer to laser cut than others. Over the past 10 years, we have tested all the variants on the market and put together an assortment of top-quality woods. But which wood is the best choice among all these options?
We have made an overview of all our wood types. Want to know more about wood laser cutting? Then go to Wood laser cutting.
Plywood
Birch and poplar are our two types of plywood. Birch is stronger, while poplar is lighter.
Birch plywood Strong, hard and with beautiful drawings. Birch is the most popular type of wood in our range. This material is made especially for us in Finland, using glue that gives off less soot when laser cut.
Poplar plywood A somewhat softer plywood with a low formaldehyde content. Poplar is very lightweight. Because poplar has a low density, we can cut it in high thicknesses. Available in our range up to 12 mm thick.
MDF
MDF is strong and inexpensive. Because it has no knots, it is easy to cut.
Veneered MDF Good looks and easy to use. This is real wood veneer on a strong MDF backing. Available with veneers of walnut, oak or ash.
MDF Strong, economical and easy to use. Versatile and one of the most ordered materials. Used for prototypes, models, furniture and much more.
MDF black Strong and economical. And colored through and through so it looks good immediately without finishing. The surface is matte and small fibers can be seen up close.
MDF coated MDF with a lightly textured coating. The surface is finished and looks neat, please note that the side is not waterproof.
Solid wood
Bamboo Particularly hard, durable and beautiful. But with use, the long fibers make bamboo fragile along the length of the sheet.
