A moisture-resistant alternative to wood!
RAKU® TOOL
Production process
1. Transfer of the original design onto the board material MB-0670.
2. Cut out with jigsaw. There is no need to apply a lot of pressure as is the case with harder woods.
3. Fix the cartouche on an MDF board with two screws and then create a horizontal level around the convex part of the cartouche using a router.
4. Deep drilling and modeling with wood carving tools.
5. Finishing: tool mark finish (visible cut of the chisel). This finish just looks a little more authentic and suggests more craftsmanship. Sanding will give it a more smooth unnatural look.

Further application areas
- Master models
- Master models for composite molds
- Molds for composite prototype parts
- Architectural models
- Wind tunnel models
- Water channel models
- Thermoforming tools for prototypes
Added benefits
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Easy to carve, saw, deep cavity mill, sand, paint – even parallel grooves with a V-chisel (burin) remain sharp and do not break off
- Fine surface
- Good chip formation
- Not hygroscopic, moisture resistant, no rotting
- Lightweight, yet compact and hard
Modeling with MB-0670 is a dream: there is no wood structure present, which means that you do not suffer from 'cutting against the grain' or from 'end-grained wood'. The ability to cut in all directions makes cutting and shaping a very easy and smooth process.
