laser cut on rubber

Initially we tried cutting rubber that was 2.5 mm thick (used in car tires), however, these results weren't very good. The cuts weren't neat.
This is cut into rubber 1.5 mm thick. This thickness worked well. However, we should stay away from very fine designs as the machine melts the rubber, and so the thickness of lines it creates is a lot less accurate.
