Good to Know
Black Edges on 6mm
Due to the power needed to cut through the 6mm thickness, the edges of this material tend to go black/ very dark brown. There can be a small amount of black transfer if you rub the edges as well.Recommended Uses
- Great for prototyping as it is very low cost.
- Provides a smooth surface ideal for working on with paint and other mediums e.g. Resin Coating.
More Information
- Cuts well and leaves a clean, smooth edge line that typically shows a dark edge due to the high resin content.
- Is cut without protective tape, which means smoke marks will show.
- Engraves well but doesn't show a high contrast between engraved and not engraved areas.
- It is difficult to capture colour correctly; allow for slight variation from monitor to reality.
- Thickness can vary by up to 10% as a result of the manufacturing process, so creating interlocking designs can be difficult.
