You have a task. We have the board.
The model-making fiber board for architects and laser cutters.
About half the density of chipboard or museum board, so a blade cuts it more easily and the laser cuts it faster. Stays flat. About half the cost of museum board.
A chipboard and museum board alternative: about half the density of either, and about half the cost of museum board.
Ships by UPS, Ground to Next Day · Since 2002
Lightweight wood fiber board
Made from sustainably forested wood.
Stays flat
Wood fibers, locked in layers.
Edges sand like wood.
Cut, sand, glue.
Safe for the classroom. Independently evaluated by a board-certified toxicologist (2016): Taskboard complies with ASTM D4236, the U.S. Federal Hazardous Substances Act and LHAMA, and the Canadian and EU equivalents. Not toxic, not an irritant, not a sensitizer.
Three ways to cut it
Use the tool you already have.
Scissors
Works on 1/32" sheets. Ideal for classrooms.
Craft knife
Clean cuts on every thickness.
Laser cutter
Cuts faster than other materials, with light scorch.
Two ways people use it
Models and lasers.
Most Taskboard® goes into one of two things.
Architecture
- About half the density of chipboard or museum board, flatter than foam core.
- Cut with a knife, then sand the edges clean.
- About half the cost of museum board.
Laser cutting
- Cuts fast, with light-colored scorch.
- White etches cleanly and reads well under paint.
- Model railroaders pre-paint, then laser.
Pick a thickness
Three thicknesses. White.
| Thickness | Cut with | Bends? | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/32" | Scissors, craft knife, laser | Yes | The lightest sheet. Also cuts with scissors. |
| 1/16" | Craft knife, laser | Yes | Stiffer than the 1/32" sheet, lighter than the 1/8" sheet. |
| 1/8" | Craft knife, laser | No | The stiffest sheet. Non-forming. |
White. Smoother surface. Etches cleanly and reads well under paint.
Basswood-tone, while supplies last.
Three sizes: 10" × 20", 20" × 30" and 30" × 40". The 10" × 20" sheet is sold only in our online store.
Also forms, if you need a curve. Most people never need it. How-to
In their words
Makers say it better.
“It is so much easier to use than other boards. How wonderful that I can get a cut with one pass and not 3 and 4. The ability to sand is great.”
“Taskboard was used because it was cheaper, readily available, and didn’t take as long to laser-cut. With each student’s limited laser time, that was absolutely essential.”
“The windows were a treat to laser. All parts were made from 1/8" or 1/16" Taskboard.”
what will you make?
Every thickness in white. Order the sheets and start cutting.
