Hola amigos,
Found an interesting material I thought you would find interesting: High durability “Invincible Paper”, made by a company called TerraSlate.
TerraSlate paper is one of the toughest papers on planet - it’s rip proof, waterproof, can withstand heat up to 176*C (350 degrees Fahrenheit), It’s made from polyester. It can even be run through a dishwasher.
Project ideas
- Restaurant menus
- Re-usable forms
- Rapid product prototyping
- Quick reference checklists (eg on a sailboat, in a auto mechanic garage)
- Waterproof Maps, for backpacking, kayaking
- Seedling labels, in a garden
- Underwater marriage proposal signs
- Waterproof business cards, SCUBA dive logs
What tools can you use with it?
- You can laser print onto it (including color). Avoid inkjet, as it will smudge.
- According to TerraSlate’s web site, you can use a laser cutter on it. (@dannym , can you confirm?)
