Material overview
Our 3 mm hardboard sheets are smooth on both sides and excellent for laser cutting. Made from compressed wood fibers (High-Density Fiberboard), this brown sheet material has a high density and ensures a clean result. Thanks to the smooth surfaces, splinters are prevented, making the sheets instantly ready for further processing such as engraving, painting, or printing.
During laser cutting, a dark brown residue forms around the cut – a protective film limits contamination on the surface. Ideal for both hobbyists and professionals looking for dimensional stability and a clean finish.
✔ Highlights
✔ Laser compatible – cuts cleanly with CO₂ lasers
✔ Ready to use – can be used directly in the laser
✔ Smooth surface on both sides – no finishing required
✔ High density – prevents splintering or burning
✔ Kerf width only approx. 0.2 mm – fine details possible
✔ Lightweight and easy to process (sawing, drilling, milling, sanding)
✔ Eco-friendly – produced from wood fiber surplus
Which laser source is this material suitable for?
✅ Suitable for CO₂ lasers
✅ Suitable for diode lasers
Applications
For hobbyists:
Use for miniatures, wall decorations, organizers, personalized signs, or boxes. The smooth hardboard base responds well to paint, markers, and stains.
For professionals:
Perfect for prototypes, scale models, displays, packaging, furniture construction, technical parts, and protective panels. Thanks to its dimensional stability and workability, it is highly versatile.

Veelgestelde vragen over Hardboard
Hoe weet ik of een materiaal geschikt is voor mijn lasersnijder?
Op iedere productpagina staat aangegeven voor welke soorten lasers het materiaal geschikt is (bijvoorbeeld CO₂- of diodelaser). Twijfel je? Neem gerust contact met ons op, wij adviseren je graag.
Zijn de platen de exact aangegeven maat?
We snijden/zagen de platen zo nauwkeurig mogelijk. Kleine afwijkingen van enkele millimeters kunnen voorkomen door het zaag- of snijproces.
Kan ik materialen retourneren?
Ja, ongebruikte en onbeschadigde materialen kunnen binnen 14 dagen worden geretourneerd. Op maat gemaakte of speciaal bestelde platen vallen hier niet onder. Meer informatie vind je op onze retourpagina.
Wat zijn de verzendkosten?
De verzendkosten worden automatisch berekend tijdens het afrekenen, afhankelijk van formaat, gewicht en bestemming.
