Birch Plywood

Material Overview

Our birch plywood panels are made up of multiple layers of birch veneer, glued crosswise to create a stable, sturdy, and smooth sheet material. Thanks to the fine, veneered structure, this wood is ideal for laser cutting and engraving. The result: neat, brown cutting edges and sharp engravings – perfect for both visual and functional use.

Thanks to the cross-laminated bonding, minimal deformation occurs. Because the panels are thin, however, they may warp slightly. This can easily be remedied by placing a weight on the panel or cutting the panel into smaller sections.

✔ Highlights

✔ Laser-compatible – very precise cutting and engraving
✔ Ready to use – can be placed directly in the laser
✔ Smooth surface – ready for use, no sanding required
✔ Stable and shape-retaining due to cross-laminated bonding
✔ Sturdy structure at a low weight
✔ Natural appearance – light wood color, few knots
✔ Multiple thicknesses – 3 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm
✔ Easy to work with – gluing, painting, drilling, milling
