3D-Veneer

Wood Veneer in a New Form

In the past, bending and forming wood veneers was possible only within narrow limits. A young, innovative German company, acquired by Danzer in 2008, changed all that, starting a new era in wood design using 3D-Veneer. Danzer’s 3D-Veneer allows to design and produce wooden organic shapes that couldn’t be realized before.
Danzer has helped hundreds of customers with 3D-Veneer projects for furniture, automotive and other applications. The Danzer team of experts supports designers and producers in the early phases of a project to design and prototype for success. Using Danzer 3D-Veneer allows designers to create distinctive new products that are lightweight, comfortable, elegant and stable—and can be produced at a lower cost.

 

What We Offer

3D-Veneer CLASSIC

Danzer offers 3D-Veneer for use as decorative deck layer or structural inner layer:

  • 3D-Veneer deck layers are produced to-order from most species of sliced veneers, including American Walnut, European Oak, Black Cherry, Ash, or Beech.
  • Technical veneers including Danzer Vinterio and Danzer Linea are also being transformed into 3D-Veneer.
  • 3D-Veneer inner layers are traditionally made from rotary-cut Beech (see 3D-Veneer Basic).

 

3D-Veneer can be produced in these dimensions:

  • Maximum length: 1,230 mm
  • Maximum width: 970 mm (can be spliced to achieve widths of more than 970 mm)
  • Standard thickness: 1.15 +/- 0.05 mm

 

3D-Veneer BASIC

Danzer also offers 3D-Basic—a visually simpler version of 3D-Veneer well suited as an inner layer, or as a surface layer of molded plywood shells when dyed. Due to its technical properties and price point, 3D-Basic is also suited as inner layers for upholstered shells.

  • Danzer 3D-Basic is made from European Beech.

3D-Basic can be produced in these dimensions:

  • Thickness: 1.2 mm or 2.0 mm
  • Maximum length: 1,230 mm
  • Maximum width: 1,050 mm (can be spliced to achieve widths of more than 1,050 mm)

Danzer offers project support from the first sketch to production of 3D-Veneer molded parts including:

  • Pressing tool construction
  • Pressing tool production and testing

Danzer also presses molded plywood parts with 3D-Veneer including chair shells, back rests, elements for furniture fronts, accessories, and car interior trim.
