Cutting vaporizes a little material — this cutting gap is called
kerfThe laser vaporizes material — the cutting gap varies with material and thickness. Cuts run centered on the drawn line; for shape.tools products we factor the kerf into your dimensions automatically.More in the glossary →

Delivery comes on the
P1–P3 sheet formatsOur three sheet formats: P1 = 181 × 181 mm, P2 = 384 × 384 mm, P3 = 790 × 384 mm. Your design has to fit on one of the sheets. For scale: a vinyl record cover sits between P1 and P2.More in the glossary →

raster engravingThe laser fills an area line by line — like a printer. Ideal for logos and larger motifs. In your file: black filled areas, RGB(0, 0, 0).More in the glossary →
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

Kraftplex is made from 100% unbleached wood fibres from sustainably managed softwood stocks — produced entirely without chemical additives, bleach or binders. The material is eco-friendly, fully biodegradable and free of harmful substances.

Kraftplex is as stable, flexible and formable as sheet metal, yet electrically insulating — a genuine alternative to conventional plastics. It is a great fit for home accessories, furniture, product design and model making.

The laser cuts Kraftplex with a beautifully smooth edge.

Processing

Bond Kraftplex with wood glue (as low in water as possible), contact adhesive, or one- or two-component PU adhesive. Glue under light pressure (below 0.1 N/mm²) and without heat.

Engraving

For an even engraving image, use a heavy raster or vector engraving.

Bridges

For this material we generally recommend small bridges: interrupt the cut contour by at least 0.5–0.8 mm. For parts under 15 × 15 mm and filigree elements, bridges are essential — all parts stay safely in the sheet until they reach you.
