• surface smoothness: the clarity and quality of the engraving depends on the “degree of smoothness”.
• thickness plywood may vary. Thicker plywood may be more durable, but may also require a more powerful laser engraver.
• density plywood may affect the quality of engraving. Higher density plywood can produce sharper, deeper engravings.
• glue typeused to glue plywood layers together may affect the engraving process. It is worth choosing plywood with glue that is suitable for engraving and does not emit harmful fumes.
