Pro Tip:
Thin sheets (3mm) may cup slightly due to their size. Upon receipt, place sheets under weights in a temperature-controlled room for 24-48 hours to acclimate to your environment. During laser cutting, secure them with a jig, magnets, or tape to your laser bed.
FAQs:
-
Is Baltic Birch good for laser cutting? Yes, its high-quality core and uniform density ensure clean, precise cuts for crafts like puzzles or signs. Baltic Birch Plywood can be cut using both C02 and Diode lasers.
-
Will thin plywood warp? Minimal cupping may occur in 3mm or 6mm sheets; acclimate under weights and use a jig or tape to keep them flat during cutting.
-
What about voids in the plywood? We strive for void-free panels, but some may have minimal voids. Contact support@makerstock.com if you encounter issues.

Is this plywood moisture-resistant? No, this is interior-grade plywood, ideal for dry indoor environments only.
