and
vector engravingThe laser traces a line and engraves it into the material — precise, ideal for fine contours. In your file: red hairlines, RGB(255, 0, 0).More in the glossary →

Good to know

Description

Finnboard (also Finnish wood board) consists of pure, natural-coloured mechanical wood pulp. It is therefore not lightfast and darkens in sunlight. Compared to greyboard it warps less and is considerably lighter.

In architectural model making, finnboard is the most used board — thanks to easy processing, its pleasantly warm colour and the slightly irregular surface.

Bridges

For small parts under 15 × 15 mm, plan small bridges: interrupt the cut contour by at least 0.5–0.8 mm. All parts then stay safely in the sheet until they reach you — push them out by hand or free them carefully with a craft knife.
