context_page_description: Molded plywood is the term for two- or three-dimensionally shaped products from multiple veneer layers that are glued together through heat and pressure in a pressing tool. The veneer layers are arranged crosswise at an angle of 90 degrees. Molded wood is used for flat furniture components such as seats, backrests and seat shells. When the veneer layers are arranged in the same direction, it is called laminated wood. It is used for armrests and chair frames. After pressing, the blanks are processed mechanically. A particular feature is the ability to produce different variations of shapes from the blanks. Due to its immense strength and low weight, molded wood is particularly suitable for interior decoration, seating furniture, bed slats, skateboards and vehicle construction.
context_section_description: Laminated wood is the term for moldings where the grain in all layers runs parallel. To increase the bending strength and reduce the swelling and shrinking behavior, laminated wood is interlocked with some transverse veneers for certain applications. Laminated wood is used for chair frames, cantilever side parts and armrests.
  By employing laminated wood gussets (triangular), the wood joints can be pressed at the same time (see picture). The thickness of the molded parts can be varied by using partially ground interior veneers. Compared to molded plywood, the tensile strength is significantly higher.
