Material Overview
Cork is a lightweight, elastic, and porous material that is easy to work with using a laser. It has a natural bounce, is antistatic, and inherently resistant to fire and moisture. Thanks to its airy structure, cork also provides excellent thermal and sound insulation. During laser cutting, a black discoloration occurs at the cutting edges, while engravings remain beautifully visible with a warm contrast.
