2mm Ceiba Plywood, 600mm x 400mm sheet
This is a high-quality Ceiba Plywood sheet (laserply) that is suitable for a wide range of applications and is particularly suited to laser cutting. Ceiba is very fast growing and has a much lower density than Birch, meaning that it can be easily laser cut at lower power settings. It machines easily but you should use sharp tools as it is easy to leave a fuzzy surface. This can easily be tidied with a light sand.
This is B/BB grade Ceiba Plywood B grade on the topside and BB grade on the underside.
Please note:
As wood is a natural product, there is often a crook or bow to the sheet. The natural twist might be in excess of 25mm (see below – Tolerances and Caution).
The B grade topside shows the natural look of the wood. There will be changes in colour that show the grain pattern. Sound, smooth knots are allowed and these will typically be under 15mm to 35mm in diameter. The surface should normally be free from open knots and plugs. This material should be suitable for paint/stain or a lacquered finish.
BB grade is similar to B grade but allows for larger knots and repairs to the face. Sound, smooth knots are allowed and these will typically be under 50mm in diameter. Open knots can be repaired with wooden plugs. The material should be suitable for applications where the visual look is not critical.
This plywood uses an EN314-2 Class 1 glue which is suitable for Interior (dry) conditions. Interior glue is generally considered the preferred option for materials that are to be laser cut. This is because the exterior glues can cause a more obvious ‘burnt’ look on and around the area that is cut.

Tolerances:
The manufacturing tolerance for the thickness of Ceiba plywood sheets is the stated thickness +/-0.1mm. This means a 2mm plywood sheet could be between 1.9mm and 2.1mm in thickness.
Caution:
- As wood is a natural product there is often a bow or crook to plywood and in some cases a twist. We have measured in excess of 25mm rise between the flat centre of the plywood and the corner. These twists are completely normal and add to the natural character of the plywood. If you are using this product on a laser cutter; these sheets should be strapped/taped to the laser bed before cutting.
- Some sheets of this product may have a material origin ink stamp. As sheets are stored stacked there can be some transfer of the ink from one sheet to another and as a result the ink mark may appear on both sides. If required the mark can be quickly removed with fine sandpaper.
