Material Overview
Cork is a light, elastic, and porous material that is easy to work with using a laser. It is resilient, antistatic, and naturally resistant to fire and moisture. Thanks to its airy structure, cork also offers good thermal and sound insulation. During laser cutting, a black discoloration occurs on the cut edges, while engravings remain beautifully visible with a warm contrast.
