Create From Hundreds of Materials
Traditional 3D printers work with layers of plastic. Your Glowforge is completely different: it can print objects using hundreds of beautiful materials like leather, acrylic, hardwood, fabric - even chocolate!
The Glowforge 3D laser printer uses a beam of light the width of a human hair to cut and engrave almost anything you can dream up.
There are many materials sold that are laser-compatible. For example:

Introducing Proofgrade™ Materials
Proofgrade materials are the first materials that are sourced, prepared, encoded, and lab-tested for perfect printing, every time. Proofgrade materials are specially formulated for the Glowforge 3D laser printer and work well with other cutter/engravers using CO2 laser technology.
Select
Choose from materials like heirloom-grade hardwoods and the highest quality vegetable tanned full-grain leathers.
Smart
Digitally encoded so your Glowforge instantly recognizes the material and uses the ideal settings for perfect prints every time.
Enhanced
Naturally beautiful plywoods, veneers, and hardwoods are sanded and pre-finished with a beautiful satin coating that can last for generations.
Protected
A protective coating guards your materials through the printing process to keep them pristine. When the print is done, it peels off to reveal your finished masterpiece.
Guaranteed
Materials are covered by our three-month limited warranty so you’ll get the quality you deserve.

Acrylic
About Proofgrade Acrylic:
Acrylic is stronger than glass, waterproof, and can be molded into different shapes with heating. It can be adhered with custom acrylic glues as well as household super glues.
Use Acrylic's remarkably versatile properties to make colorful creations like:
- modern jewelry
- kitchen and bathrooom goods
- window and display-case effects
Proofgrade acrylic is the most desirable form, cast acrylic, which provides smooth, polished cuts. Most acrylic comes with a clear or brown sticker that melts under the laser and damages the material. Proofgrade acrylic comes with a bright white protective coating instead that guarantees the material is protected, but is easy to remove and does not damage the print. As with all Proofgrade materials, Proofgrade acrylic is encoded with a barcode for perfect material settings.
