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.
