Students: Use MDF and Baltic Birch for robotics components or architectural models in STEM competitions.

Quick Tips For CNC Machining

Tooling Matters: Use sharp carbide bits for clean cuts and longer tool life. Compression bits work well for plywood; straight or downcut bits for MDF.

 

Feeds & Speeds: Match your feed rate to the material and bit size. Too slow = burning; too fast = chipping/tear-out.

 

Workholding: Use clamps, vacuum tables, or double-sided tape to secure sheets. MDF benefits from strong hold-down to prevent shifting.

 

Dust Collection: CNC machining creates fine dust, especially with MDF—always use proper extraction for safety and finish quality.

 

Finishing: Seal edges of plywood/MDF with paint, veneer, or edge banding for a professional look and added durability.

 

Test Passes: Run small toolpaths first to dial in depth of cut, spindle speed, and feed rate before committing to the full job.

$12 PER 50LBS FLAT-RATE SHIPPING

Description

Take your laser engraving business to the next level with the Diode Laser Expansion Kit, a premium bundle of diode laser-compatible materials designed for hobbyists, small businesses, schools, libraries, and STEM/STEAM labs. Purchase as a stand-alone kit, or pair with a Diode Starter Kit for a comprehensive set of materials for your space. 

This all-in-one kit includes acrylic sheets, wood veneer, and a versatile Quickboard, curated to enhance your laser cutting and engraving projects. Available in a range of sizes to fit common laser beds, this kit takes the guesswork out of starter materials on your laser cutting journey.

Material

Matte Black Acrylic (1/8"): 2 sheets
Engraves with sharp contrast and clean lines. Works well for signage, decorative pieces, and light-blocking panels.

 

Nearly Opaque Brown Acrylic (1/8"): 1 sheet
Warm-toned sheet that engraves to a lighter contrast. Useful for decorative work, signage, and creative accents.

 

Maple MDF Core Veneer (1/8"): 2 sheets
Light-toned veneer with a fine grain and MDF Core. Ideal for engraving, decorative panels, and prototyping.
 

Cherry MDF Core Veneer (1/8"): 2 sheets
Smooth MDF core with a cherry veneer surface. Engraves with a warm, rich finish—great for plaques, signage, and furniture accents.

 

Quickboard Brown & Red (2mm): 5 sheets each
Dense, smooth paperboard in colored finishes. Great for prototyping, model making, signage accents, and laser engraving tests.

Shipping

$12 flat-rate shipping per 50lb box across the continental US from our warehouses in PA and UT.

Perfect For

Makerspaces and Libraries: Enhance workshops with versatile acrylic sheets and durable wood veneer panels for laser projects.

 

STEM/STEAM Education: Equip classrooms with materials for prototyping, signage, and design-focused learning.

 

Small Businesses: Create eye-catching signage, branded displays, or custom products with professional-grade materials.

 

Hobbyists and Designers: Craft intricate decor, signage, or engraved panels with premium acrylic and wood.

 

Prototyping and Model-Making: Build detailed models, packaging mock-ups, or robotics components with Quickboard and wood.

Project Inspiration

Educators: Laser-engrave Matte Black Acrylic for student award plaques or use Quickboard for prototype packaging in design classes.

 

Makers: Create layered Cherry and Maple MDF Veneer Core wall art, coasters, and seasonal ornaments.

 

Students: Use Quickboard to prototype robotics components or laser-cut Maple Veneer for architectural model details in STEM competitions.

Pro Tips

Acrylic Cutting: Blue diode lasers struggle with clear, transparent, or frosted acrylic; stick to darker opaque colors for the best results.

 

Wood Veneer/MDF Engraving: Run at moderate power and higher speeds to avoid burning through thin layers. Masking tape helps reduce edge char.

 

Quickboard Engraving: Use low power and fast speeds to prevent over-burning. Great for dialing in settings before engraving higher-value materials.

 

Test First: Every diode laser has slightly different power output. Run small test cuts and engravings before committing to full designs. Always consult your laser manual for recommended settings.
