Birch aircraft plywood

Material Overview

Birch plywood consists of three flexible layers of light birch veneer, of high quality. This extra-thin plywood is both strong and supple, with an almost flawless surface on both sides. Perfectly suitable for laser cutting and engraving thanks to its consistent structure and minimal thickness.

When laser cutting, a black cutting line is created with minimal smoke and soot marks, and the cut edge may leave a slight residue. Engravings show clearly in contrast with black/brown tones and maintain a subtle, natural appearance.

Because the material has an odd number of veneer layers, it is reasonably flexible along the grain
