Bamboo plywood
Description
Our bamboo plywood panels are stronger than side-pressed bamboo and offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plywood. This unique material is made from 100% FSC certified bamboo, and the cross-laminated layers make bamboo plywood resistant to breakage in both directions. Plywood is also more homogeneous than side-pressed bamboo, allowing the laser beam to cut through it more evenly. Bamboo plywood is a fantastic material for laser cutting.

Properties
Our bamboo panels for laser cutting are unique because bamboo plywood is not common. The thicknesses of 3 mm and 5 mm offer more strength than wood of the same thickness, while the 0.5 mm-sheet is flexible and can be used as a veneer layer. This material is extremely suitable for laser cutting, both with diode and CO2 lasers.
Bamboo has a low moisture content, so humidity has little effect on how flat a sheet is. In short, bamboo plywood does not warp easily. It is also naturally resistant to woodworms.
Side pressed bamboo vs. plywood
Side-pressed bamboo consists of compressed bamboo strips and is known for its beautiful grain, but it breaks more easily because the strong fibers are only in one direction. Plywood bamboo is a stronger alternative due to the cross-laminated layers, which make the sheets stronger in all directions. Due to the lamination, there are fewer thick knots, plywood is more homogeneous, and this makes it easier to laser cut.
Eco-friendly alternative
These sheets are made from 100% FSC-certified bamboo, including the intermediate layers. This means they are entirely made from bamboo from sustainably managed forests.
Bamboo is a very sustainable material, as it is a fast-growing grass species (officially not wood, although it is sold as such). Because it requires little water and quickly regrows from the root after harvesting, its production has a low environmental impact, lower than that of most types of wood. This makes bamboo an eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood.
Color
These sheets get their caramel color through a caramelization process in which they are heated. This process brings out the sugars in the material, which improves both strength and stability, and also gives the material a warm hue.
Applications
Bamboo panels of 3 mm and 5 mm are stronger than wood plywood of the same thickness, making them perfect for interior construction, furniture, and enclosures. The thinner sheets are flexible and do not break easily; 1.5 mm sheets are slightly flexible, while 0.5 mm sheets feel like stiff paper, ideal for curved elements such as lamps.
All thicknesses of bamboo plywood are excellent for laser cutting with both CO2 and diode lasers, provided the correct wattage is used. This makes them ideal for decoration, displays, logos, boxes, gifts, keychains, precision work such as model building, and creating custom sustainable designs.
