At 3mm, this 600mm x 300mm Basswood Laserply sheet is the one to pick when the engraving is the end goal- a near-white, near-featureless face that lets burnt detail read as detail instead of competing with the grain. Even density is what makes basswood a modelling staple. There are no hard grain lines for the beam to labour over, so a 1mm tab cuts as cleanly as a long straight edge and fine internal detail survives the pass intact - architectural models, RC airframes, layered topographic maps and filigree all lean on that consistency. The A-grade face is clear of knots and patches, which is what lifts this above the everyday sheets: there is nothing on the surface to interrupt a design, and the creamy timber takes ink, paint and stain evenly. It gives real tonal range on raster work where a photograph needs to read as a photograph. The trade-off is softness - basswood marks under clamps and fingernails, so it suits display and decorative pieces rather than parts that carry a load. ### Features - **Material:** Basswood plywood - **Size:** 600 x 300mm - **Thickness:** 3mm - **Face grade:** A face / C back - **Manufactured:** Pressed in Melbourne, Australia - **Sustainability:** FSC/PEFC certified - **Applications:** Architectural models, RC airframes, topographic maps, layered art, photo engraving and fine filigree ### Laser Cutting Plywood Every sheet in this range is manufactured void-free, so the laser beam meets consistent material wherever it cuts: no bubbling, no blown-out patches, and laser setting profiles that hold from one sheet to the next. The range is pressed in Melbourne using formaldehyde-free adhesives, removing one major source of fumes - which counts in classrooms, design studios and shared workshops. Timber is sourced from FSC-certified or sustainably managed forests. ### Choose Your Sheet #### Pale, and Easy on the Wallet - [**Radiata 3mm**](https://core-electronics.com.au/radiata-laserply-600-x-300mm-3mm.html) - The value option - softwood, light blonde, plainest face, lowest price in the range. - [**Basswood 3mm**](https://core-electronics.com.au/basswood-laserply-600-x-300mm-3mm.html) - Near-white and almost grainless behind a clear A-grade face.
