Guess what whānau, you can now lasercut our 3mm Cleanstone. But you'll need to adjust your setting slightly. Here's how:

We took 3mm Cleanstone panels to our mates at Cambrian Plastics Ltd
to run through a laser cutter.

To get it to work, they had to:

Lowered the power,
sped up the cut,
and increased airflow to maintain a cooling on the panel.

Amd the result is this near perfectly cut, detailed screen pattern—with minimal melting on the bottom of the cut. Pretty F**kn cool.

This matters for your projects because:

3mm panels = versatility.
They can be laser cut for screens, signage, patterns.

But don't forget, our 3mm Cleanstone panels can also be vacuum formed!

You can't compound curve plywood as easily as this.

Imagine double curved formed and moulded details, but with a low-carbon sheet instead of virgin plastics or laminates.

And yes whānau, it's still durable which means you buy once and that's it.

I harp on about this but over 30% of global construction waste comes from fit-outs and refurbishments, often sent straight to landfill within 5–7 years. That's not cool.

Designers who specify circular, low-carbon materials are helping to cut that impact while still delivering beautiful, award-winning spaces.

So these results are encouraging, and we’ll share the exact settings and case studies in upcoming posts.

If you’re a designer, what would you create if you had a material that could:

Cut like plywood
Form like acrylic
Last like stone
And still be 100% recycled plastic?

That’s my pātai to you.
