{"product_id":"populieren-multiplex-1","title":"Poplar plywood","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoplar plywood is one of the softer types of plywood. The material is characterized by its light weight and long lifespan. Poplar plywood can only be used indoors. The low density of this material makes it excellent for laser cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePoplar plywood is often found in furniture and interior construction, artworks, advertising and promotional materials, and logos. The material is also excellently suited for low-cost packaging, prototypes, and models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign considerations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePay attention to thickness tolerance when designing finger and slot joints. Poplar plywood has a grain direction, which is generally vertical on a full sheet, but can also be horizontal depending on how the sheet is cut. If the grain direction is important, this should be indicated in advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaser cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cut edges of poplar plywood turn brown\/black and, with the thickest variant, may produce a small amount of residue. Smoke residue will be present around the cut on the top and bottom of the material; this can largely be prevented by protective film. Any remaining smoke residue on the material can be easily removed with sandpaper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePost-processing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePost-processing of poplar plywood is not necessary, but the sheet material can be sanded with 400-grit sandpaper for a smooth finish.
