As part of our manufacturing facilities, Avicraft have a full CAD/CAM driven flatbed Carbon laser cutter/engraver that we use in the manufacture of our kits and accessories, this unit is capable of cutting and engraving a large variety of sheet materials and thickness’s to high accuracy and with very good results.
If you have a project that requires laser cutting or engraving and would like to speak to our in house experts about it we would be glad to help.
On top of the balsa/ply kits that we make, we also produce the JP Acrylic balsa stripperand their side servo mounts. We cut and engraved trophies and keepsakes and have made puzzles!
If you can draw it, chances are we can cut it for you ! (in fact we can also help with the drawing/CAD bit too if need be)
Some info about Laser Cutting
Wood and Engineered Woods such as MDF and Ply are an essential material group, having unique properties that can’t be duplicated by any other material type. The big issue is sustainability – Balsa and the birch for the ply are grown and replaced and are sustainable products.
Laser Cut Wood
We stock 3mm and 4mm ply devolved to be laser cut,and 1.5mm and 0.8mm marine ply .
Most types of wood cut well although Ebony is awful for some reason.
Laser Cut MDF
We tend to only cut MDF up to 4mm thick.
We do not stock MDF but Will happily cut it if you supply it
We stock Acrylic sheet in some size and colours for our own products, if you want products cut in Acrylic we need plenty of notice for us to add it to our order.
