MDF

Material Overview

Our brown MDF boards are made from compressed wood fibers (Medium Density Fibreboard) and are smoothly finished on both sides. This fine, homogeneous material is extremely suitable for laser cutting and laser engraving. Thanks to the consistent density, it cuts cleanly and splinter-free, with minimal post-processing.

Laser cutting produces a dark, sharp cut line with a small kerf width of approximately 0.2 mm. Engravings appear deep brown with sharp contrast, without discoloration or burning of the surface.

✔ Highlights

✔ Ready-to-use – usable straight out of the box
✔ Smooth surface on both sides – no sanding required
✔ Homogeneous structure – no splinters or grain direction
✔ Dark, high-contrast engravings – perfect for text and detail
✔ Multiple thicknesses available – from 1 to 9 mm
✔ Easy to glue, paint, mill, or assemble
