This is a high-quality AB/AB Italian Panguaneta Poplar Plywood sheet (laserply) that is suitable for a wide range of applications and is particularly suited to laser cutting. Panguaneta manages its own woodlands, so it knows that every last sheet has been produced responsibly, sustainably, and to the highest of standards. This Poplar Plywood has an AB/AB grading which is typically the best grade of plywood available.
Poplar has a lower density than Birch, meaning that it can be easily laser cut at lower power settings (See comparison image below).
Please note:
As wood is a natural product, there is often a crook or bow to the sheet. The natural twist might be in excess of 25mm (see below – Tolerances and Caution).
The material’s surface will be consistent in appearance with some possible colour variations. May contain sound-tight knots no larger than 35mm in diameter; small knotholes or hairline cracks, only if well patched. Small glue marks, repairs and well-filled patches are also allowed.
The plywood uses an EN314-2 Class 1 glue which is suitable for Interior (dry) conditions. Interior glue is generally considered the preferred option for materials that are to be laser cut. This is because the exterior glues can cause a more obvious ‘burnt’ look on and around the area that is cut.
Poplar is a cultivated wood that grows quickly, which makes it a very sustainable product.

Tolerances:
The manufacturing tolerance for the thickness of plywood sheets are the stated thickness +0.2mm/-0.4mm. This means a 3mm plywood sheet could be between 2.6mm and 3.2mm in thickness.
Caution:
- As wood is a natural product there is often a bow or crook to plywood, and in some cases a twist. We have measured in excess of 25mm rise between the flat centre of the plywood and the corner. These twists are completely normal and add to the natural character of the plywood. If you are using this product on a laser cutter; these sheets should be strapped/taped to the laser bed before cutting.
