About TruFlat, Engineered Wood for Laser Cutting

TruFlat is a double-sided engineered wood surface with 100% wood fiber core designed to stay flat for laser cutting and engraving projects. Featuring a smooth pre-finish on both sides, you can engrave and wipe on paint fills with easy cleanup. You don't even need masking as the paint wipes right off!

TruFlat® is a proprietary process of layering engineered faux wood faces onto both sides of a High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) core. The designer faux wood faces are created through a 6 step painting process to simulate a real wood grain look. The core is made of a defect free High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) which allows for easy cutting with a laser, CNC router or scroll saw. TruFlat is always sold double sided, so no worries on which side is front or back. TruFlat is not a veneer or laminate material.

 

Is TruFlat plywood?

No. TruFlat is a brand term used to describe TruFlat’s pre-finished and guaranteed flat wood engineered for laser cutting and engraving. The term “plywood” refers to TruFlat’s layered tech which attaches 2 pieces of pre-finished engineered wood to a 100% solid wood High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) core. TruFlat guarantees their product as good both sides and always flat.

How to Use

TruFlat should be handled the same as High-Density Fiberboard (HDF), plywood, and acrylic normally would. When working with any of these materials, it’s important to operate in a well-ventilated space and utilize a dust collector and fume extraction system to ensure a safe working environment. MakerFlo provides laser settings by machine for cutting and engraving, see below. TruFlat items are non-stainable due to the sublimation coating. 

TruFlat Paint does not have sublimation coated and is primed to be used for cutting and/or painting. All laser settings provided below for regular TruFlat also work for TruFlat Paint.

For laser engraving and cutting settings, please see our section below. 

What is TruFlat made of?
