I am considering changing the way I organise my terrain. My current stuff is on 12" x 6", 6" x 6" or 3" x 6" pieces depending on the scale and size of the terrain. I am thinking it would be way more versatile and easier to store if I swapped to plain pieces with holes in. I could then mount trees/rocks/etc on circular bases which would fit into the holes cut in the bases. Is this the sort of thing that could be done easily by laser cutter? Incidentally the pieces are not rectangular, they have a 'wavy' edge which is designed to butt up to another piece (never quite works out like that 'cos I am crap at woodwork!).
Thanks

Certainly would be :)
Be happy to have a go for you as well.

As far as I am aware no one does this commercially yet. In this case I would contact some of the mdf buildings guys directly and ask them costings on this.
Can heartily recommend Sarissa Precision and also Mad Mecha Guy as just two who would respond to queries.
EDIT: ....and of course Oshiro Terrain - there's a nice chap there too.

I like the idea of tesselating shapes for terrain bases, cut big enough could provide a nice variec tabletop and possibly "zones" for gameplay.
EDIT:
Ignore the faces and look at the perimeter!

Something like that would make a good basic shape.

Hi Jim
I was rather hoping you would be interested but I didn't want to ask direct as you always seem to have loads going on.
What do you need from me to go forward?
