Materials

Laser cutting has many advantages over traditional methods of manufacture with few drawbacks; one of the main benefits is the accuracy of 0.2mm. With traditional bladed cutting systems the cutting blade touches the material, which may move or tear when being cut, but the laser beam cuts from a distance hence there is no material movement. We can laser etch and cut a variety of materials, a good example is cutting silk fabrics where the laser seals the edge of the material and prevents it from fraying.



75 Micron Polyester Film
Durable, very light weight and very flexible material. This re-usable polyester film that can achieve high detail for body art tattoo and fine graphic stencils. This material is easy to clean and tear resistant up to a point.

125 Micron Polyester Film
Durable, flexible re-usable polyester film that can achieve high detail for bodyart, decorative and graphic stencils. This material is easy to cut with a craft knife or hot knife, it is the ideal choice for decorative wall stencils. It is suitable for most uses.

190 Micron Polyester Film
This film shares the same properties as the 125 micron but is 60% thicker for longer life. This film is suggested for medium to heavy stencilling jobs where longer life and larger letters or graphics are required. It can also be used for card stencilling or industrial applications for curved surfaces, such as scaffolding poles.

250 Micron Polyester Film
This film is hardwearing and rigid but still retains flexibility. For larger industrial use, this film will last. You can use solvents such as white spirit to clean or scrape the paint off. It can be used for card making as well, but the detail must not be too small. This film is not generally suitable for small, intricate detail.

350 Micron Polyester Film
