Technology Student Laminating Wood

It is positioned on the edge of the manmade board natural wood side facing upwards.

Technology student laminating wood.

A strip of veneer is cut slightly longer than the edge of the board. Cold lamination and hot lamination. The natural wood gives the ideal finish to furniture such as chairs. One side is natural wood and the other is a layer of glue adhesive.

These processes are ideal for printed posters that need an additional layer of protection. Complex shapes can even be achieved with one piece of laminated material. To get started cut three pieces of 3 mm thick wood. When thin layers of veneer are glued together forming one part they are called laminates.

Mahogany is quite expensive and is used for good quality furniture and hardwood windows. Students to create a fact file on wood lamination joining methods for plastics metals and adhesives. Complex shapes can be achieved with one piece of laminated material. Students to investigate adhesives.

Commercial lamination takes two forms. Laminated wood is an inexpensive and functional way of recycling what would otherwise be considered wood waste. Max thickness of laminates veneers is 3mm. Laminating wood when making small curves it is best to laminate several many layers using thin strips of wood called veneers no steaming is required for small bends.

It is pale in colour quite easy to cut and shape and machines relatively well. Laminated wood is suitable because it can be formed into relatively complex shapes and forms. The natural wood gives a quality finish. Many layers of wood are bonded together and the layers are then cut into either planks or sheets.

A hot iron is placed on top of the veneer. Examples of a hardwoods. It is light brown in colour and more difficult to use compared to pine. Both processes are similar as they utilise rollers pressing a layer of polyethylene against a printed surface.

The steel chromed legs give the chair a contemporary look. This warms and melts the glue. Pine is a relatively cheap wood used in the building trade and for furniture. Students to investigate joining methods for plastics and metals.

Here is an easy trick to glue laminate wood evenly with minimal sanding. Laminated wood is suitable for the head rest back rest and seat of the eames chair.
