Material overview
Our poplar plywood sheets consist of multiple thin layers of poplar wood, compressed into a sturdy, lightweight, and smooth board. These high-quality sheets are ideal for laser cutting and engraving thanks to their uniform wood structure, minimal warping, and the absence of large knots or irregularities.
When using a CO₂ laser, the material cuts very precisely, leaving a cut edge in a warm wood tone with minimal splintering. Engravings turn out subtly brown, offering a natural look and good readability. Thanks to the thin veneer layers, the dimensional stability is high and deformation is kept to a minimum.
