Corrugated Polypropylene
(Corriflute) |
- lightweight and tough
- stiff, but not very strong - hard but scratches easily - can be scored and bent with a craft knife |
|
|
Grey Card
|
- range of thicknesses (from 300 microns to 650 microns)
- range of colours including solid white board, grey board and metallic - used for model - different applications use different thicknesses |
|
|
High-density
Polyurethane (Brown Foam) |
- can be shaped using hand and machine tools
- takes fine detail well - used on CNC milling machines - can be finished & painted to a high quality |
|
|
Foam board
|
- foam covered on both sides with paper or plastic eg. Sandwich
- usually white, although some manufacturers offer it in black lightweight as well as strong - available in very large sheets - architectural modelling |
|
|
Finnboard
|
- beige wood pulped paper board that is an ideal material architectural modelling
- versatility over other card materials - easy to cut and work with - can be dampened, formed into a curve and once dry, will retain curve. - lasered although some scorching will occur. |

|
Acetate
|
- glass-like clarity
- available in wide range of thicknesses .001" - .020" - available in clear and matte - easily torn |

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
(ABS) |
- Strong, tough, hard, lightweight, and durable
- good surface finish - can be lasercut but smells |
|
|
Flexiply
|
- flexible plywood
- will hold its shape once it is glued, laminated or veneered. - wide range of finished thicknesses can be created by bonding more than one sheet of bendy plywood together |
|
|
Medium-density FibreBoard
(MDF) |
- manufactured board made from wood pulp bonded with urea formaldehyde
- available in larger widths than solid wood. - can be uniform in different directions. It is much cheaper than solid wood. - poor moisture resistance. |
|
|
Plastazote Foam
|
- man-made polyethylene foam
- liquids are not readily absorbed - it is tough and flexible - if squashed and compressed, each cell acts like a balloon and the foam bounces back to its original shape - easily shaped and cut. |
|
|
Plyboard
|
- a very strong board which is constructed of layers of veneer or piles which are glued at 90 degrees to each other.
|
|
|
Microply
|
- thin layers of plyboard
- 1.5mm upwards - has the capability of forming curves - good adhered to flexiply |
|
|
Hard Board
|
- cheaper option than plywood where strength is not required
- one smooth, glossy surface and one textured surface - very cheap particle board which sometimes has a laminated plastic surface. |
