ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Mat board (thick cardboard) is an excellent material to use for architectural modeling
and for picture framing. It cuts and engraves very neatly and cleanly. It comes in a
variety of shades and colors. Patterns can be engraved on the surface with a power
setting for light engraving which just breaks through the very thin top layer and exposes
the lighter colored underlying substrate. When engraving, a low PPI setting is used to
prevent overexposure of the underlying substrate material which causes excessive dark
discoloration. Masking is not necessary on the top surface when engraving. When
cutting, both sides might need to be masked and the material elevated above the
engraving table. This will produce an extremely clean edge on both sides of the
material.
