12. 9. MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)
MDF can be shaped like massive wood, it provides faultless cutting, piercing and carving with CNC machines. MDF has many advantages over plank wood, particleboard, or high density fiberboard. It is very smooth because the wood fibers used in its manufacturing are uniform and fine
IWM imports MDF from Malaysia and also locally purchased
Preparation: MDF is prepared as pressing chip board with some adhesives and fine crushed wood.
