The MDF we supply is specifically formulated for safe laser cutting, this means the fumes emitted when cutting are not toxic, you also get a cleaner cut. If you wish to supply your own materials for laser cutting please speak to workshop staff first to ensure suitability, and check here to see if it is possible.
