Plywood Manufacturing With Its Types and Uses
The word ‘Ply’ is taken from the Latin word ‘Plier’ means ‘to fold'. Plywood is a material produced from fine layers of wood veneer plies that binds together with adjacent layers grains are vertically (90 degrees) aligned to each other. It is a manufactured design taken from the medium-density of fiberboards and particleboard. Plywood glued wood fiber sheets and resin to form composite designs. History: The foundation of plywood dates back to the ancient Greeks and Egyptian eras, as they used to cut thin layers of wood and bind them together with the grain in perpendicular directions to make versatile designs. Bentham was the first one registered in describing the concept of laminating several layers of veneer from the wooden logs. This process was first known for plywood. Five decades later Immanuel Nobel, decoded that several layers of wood glued together would be stronger than a single thick layer of wood. He invented the Rotary lathe is the machine that understands the indust...
