Frequently Asked Questions
Plywood is an engineered wood product that is typically made from thin layers of wood veneers or “plies.” These thin layers, known as veneers or plies, are glued together with each layer’s grain direction oriented perpendicular to the adjacent layers. This cross-grain construction gives plywood its strength, stability, and resistance to warping.
Plywood is valued for its strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and resistance to cracking. It is widely used in building sheathing, subflooring, roofing, and siding. In furniture and cabinetry, plywood is often used for its stability and ability to provide a smooth, consistent surface. Its versatility and availability in a variety of grades and sizes make it a popular choice for residential and commercial applications.
Yes, plywood can be effectively laser-cut. Laser cutting is a highly precise and efficient cutting method that can cut a variety of materials, including wood and plywood. Laser cutting machines use a high-power laser beam focused through a lens, which generates intense heat when it contacts the material surface. The wood in the plywood absorbs the laser energy, causing the material to heat up and vaporize or burn away. The laser beam moves along a pre-programmed path to cut or engrave materials.
When laser cutting plywood, you need to consider the type and quality of the plywood as well as the laser settings to get the results you need. Different wood species and plywood grades may respond differently to laser cutting.
Overall, laser cutting is a popular choice for plywood processing because of its precision, versatility, and ability to create complex designs and custom shapes with minimal material waste.
The cost of a plywood laser cutting machine can vary greatly depending on a variety of factors, including the machine’s power, size, features, brand, and where you purchase it. Here are the general price ranges for laser cutters suitable for cutting plywood:

Industrial CO2 laser cutting machines vary greatly in price, from $10,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars or more, depending on the size and capabilities of the machine.
While laser cutting is a versatile and precise method of cutting plywood, it does come with some drawbacks and caveats. The following are the disadvantages of laser cutting plywood:
- Burnt edges: The heat generated during laser cutting can cause burns or charring of the edges of the cut plywood. These burnt edges may require additional finishing or sanding to achieve a polished appearance.
- Material thickness limitations: Laser cutting has a limit on the maximum thickness of plywood it can effectively cut. Thicker plywood may require more time, multiple passes, or a higher-power laser, increasing production time and cost.
- Material compatibility: The type of adhesive used in plywood may vary, and some adhesives may produce toxic fumes or residue when exposed to laser energy. Make sure the plywood is compatible with laser cutting to avoid health and safety issues.
- Material waste: Laser cutting produces waste in the form of cuts and offcuts. Effective nesting and layout planning help minimize material waste.
- Complex setup: Setting up a laser cutting machine to make precise cuts can be time-consuming and may require specialized knowledge. Achieving the desired cutting results often requires fine-tuning setup and calibration.
- Maintenance and alignment: Laser cutting machines require regular maintenance to keep them running optimally. The alignment of the laser beam, mirrors, and lenses needs to be checked and adjusted regularly to ensure accuracy.
- Smoke and odor: Laser-cutting plywood releases smoke and odor. If ventilation is not done properly, it can be unpleasant and potentially harmful, so an adequate ventilation or exhaust system is required to remove these fumes from the workspace.
- Equipment cost: Laser cutting machines can be expensive to purchase and maintain, which can be a hindrance for a small business or hobbyist.
- Material ignition: Plywood is a flammable material and there is a risk of ignition if the laser settings are not properly controlled. Safety measures such as fire protection systems and proper ventilation can help minimize this risk.
Laser cutting can be used to cut various types of plywood, but the success of the cutting process and the quality of the results may depend on the specific type of plywood and its characteristics. Here are some common plywood types that can be laser cut:
- Hardwood plywood: This type of plywood is made from hardwood veneers, such as oak, birch, or maple, and is often used to create fine furniture and cabinets. Lasers can cut on hardwood plywood, but the density of hardwood may require higher laser power and slower cutting speeds.
- Softwood plywood: Made from softwood veneers such as pine, fir, or cedar, softwood plywood is commonly used in building and structural applications. It can be laser cut, but the cutting results may vary depending on the specific softwood used.
- Marine plywood: Designed for use in wet or marine environments, marine plywood is typically made from a waterproof adhesive and high-quality wood board. While laser cutting is possible, the adhesive used in marine plywood may produce more toxic fumes when exposed to laser light.
- MDF core plywood: Plywood with a medium-density fiberboard (MDF) core is suitable for laser cutting. MDF provides a smooth, flat surface and the veneer layers can be laser cut cleanly. This type of plywood is commonly used in cabinet and furniture manufacturing.
- Plywood with a veneer finish: Plywood with a decorative veneer finish, such as walnut or cherry veneer, can be laser cut to create intricate designs and patterns while retaining the appearance of the veneer.
Laser-cutting plywood is safe if proper precautions and safety measures are taken. However, as with any industrial process involving high-power lasers, there are potential risks that need to be managed. Here are some key safety considerations when laser cutting plywood:
- Protective equipment: The laser beams used in laser cutting are very intense and can cause damage to human eyes and skin, so the operator and anyone near the laser cutting machine should wear appropriate protective equipment. This typically includes laser safety glasses and protective clothing specifically designed to block the laser wavelengths used, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the human body.
- Ventilation: Laser cutting produces smoke and potentially harmful particles, especially when cutting adhesive or certain types of plywood. Adequate ventilation or smoke extraction systems should be in place to remove these by-products from the work area, which helps maintain air quality and reduces the risk of inhaling harmful substances.
- Fire safety: Laser cutting generates intense heat and presents a risk of fire, especially when cutting combustible materials such as wood. The work area should be equipped with fire prevention and fire extinguishing systems, and flammable items should be kept away from the laser cutting machine.
- Training: Operators should receive appropriate training on the safe use of laser-cutting equipment. This includes knowing how to set up the machine, calibrate the machine, and troubleshoot problems. Inexperienced or untrained operators can pose significant safety risks.
- Material compatibility: Make sure the type of plywood used is compatible with laser cutting. Certain types of adhesives and plywood can emit harmful fumes or produce undesirable results when laser cut. It is recommended to consult the plywood manufacturer for information on the laser compatibility of the material.
- Eye and skin protection: Laser beams can be harmful to eyes and skin. Operators should avoid looking directly into the laser beam and should always wear laser-protective glasses. Additionally, skin contact with the laser beam or any reflective surface needs to be avoided.
- Machine maintenance: Regular maintenance and inspection of your laser cutting machine is essential for safety. This includes inspecting for damaged or misaligned parts, keeping laser optics clean, and ensuring all safety interlocks are functioning properly.
