The Ins and Outs of Lamacoids
Lamacoid is a practical and cost-effective material that is commonly used to manufacture exterior and interior signage. Since a majority of lamacoids can be engraved via laser or rotary cutters, it is possible to achieve a great amount of detail.

- Gauges
- Machine consoles and faceplates
