Cork and Cardboard
The "cork and cardboard" category at Botland is a resource for DIY projects, electronics, and technical education. These simple materials are perfect for prototyping, building enclosures, and creating structural components where metal or plastics aren't necessary. We especially recommend them for laser cutting.

Cork and processing - laser cutting
Cork works well as a lightweight, flexible insulating material. It can be used as a substrate for electronics, a vibration-dampening layer, or as a protective element for delicate components. Its easy processing also makes it suitable for the rapid creation of prototype panels or spacers. It's much more interesting in hobby projects, where it can be used as a base for sensors, modules, or even small systems, where insulation and ease of assembly are key. Cork and cardboard perform very well in processes such as cutting and laser-engraving, which is why they are often used in prototyping and DIY projects. Their structure allows for precise cutting of even complex shapes without the risk of cracking or deformation that can occur with harder materials. Botland's offerings translate into the rapid creation of electronics enclosures, mounting panels, decorative elements, and parts for models and robots. Cork responds well to laser engraving, allowing for legible markings and aesthetic details, while cardboard is suitable for testing designs before transferring the design to more durable materials.
Cardboard and Processing. Projects and Education
Cardboard, on the other hand, is one of the simplest tools for rapid prototyping. It allows you to create an electronic circuit enclosure, a robot model, a mockup element, or a mechanical test structure in minutes. Combined with microcontrollers like Arduino and single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi, cardboard often becomes the first step before moving a project to a more permanent form, such as 3D printing. Both materials also fit well into STEM education, enabling the rapid construction of demonstration models, experiments, and school projects without the need for specialized tools. This is particularly important for beginner students, but also for teachers new to new activities who want to focus on the operation of the system rather than advanced mechanical processing. It complements electronics, tools, and assembly accessories. These materials allow you to go from the electronic circuit itself to a finished, physical enclosure design, model, or prototype quickly, affordably, and without unnecessary complications.
Laser cutting of cardboard and paperboard
The cork and cardboard sheets available from Botland are well-suited for use with laser plotters, both CO₂ and smaller workshop devices. These materials allow for clean edges and consistent detail even at basic power settings. They can be used for mass-produced cutting of structural components, panel fronts, and precise mounting inserts. Beermat cardboard maintains stiffness in thin sections, facilitating the design of lightweight enclosures and spacers, while cork allows for a softer edge effect and can be placed wherever damping or a flexible fit is needed. It's also always a good material for working with vector files and quickly transitioning from CAD design to the physical part. From there, defining aspects such as precise dimensions, mounting holes, or bending lines is just a short step away. Cork and cardboard transfer the physical design almost directly to the part, without the need for complex machining or tooling. The laser reads the lines as cutting or engraving paths, so what we see on the screen is reproduced very faithfully in the material. Additionally, these materials are forgiving of minor design errors common in microelectronics or metallurgy. If a hole is slightly too small or a component requires correction, it's easy to make changes and repeat the process. And if microelectronics only requires material housings for electronic modules, where precision in component placement is crucial but speed is also essential, such solutions are often completely sufficient.
