A veneer panel may include a face veneer, a first inner layer bonded to the face veneer, a second inner layer bonded to the first inner layer, and a thermally conductive layer bonded to the second inner layer. The first inner layer and the second inner layer are treated with a flame retardant. The first inner layer is disposed between the face veneer and the second inner layer, and the second inner layer is disposed between the first inner layer and the thermally conductive layer.

Flame retardant veneer panel

A flexible carbon fiber decorative veneer may include a veneer panel assembly with a face layer formed from a carbon fiber material, a backing layer formed from a flexible fleece, and an adhesive configured to attach the face layer to the backing layer through activation via at least one joining process. The backing layer may be configured to prevent light from passing through voids or interstitial spaces in the carbon fiber material of the face layer when the backing layer is attached to the face layer via the adhesive. The flexible carbon fiber decorative veneer may be configured for use on an aircraft interior structure, the base structure for which being fabricated from an aviation honeycomb layer and a back panel. The veneer panel assembly may be configured to conform to a radius of at least 0.25 inches on the aircraft interior structure.

A method of binder jetting additive manufacturing for veneer applications may include, but is not limited to, loading a mixture of material into one or more feed boxes of a binder jetting additive manufacturing device, depositing a layer of the mixture of material into a working chamber of the binder jetting additive manufacturing device, applying a coating to the layer of the mixture of material, and curing the coating applied to the layer of the mixture of material to form a portion of a veneer product, actuating a working surface of the working chamber, depositing an additional layer of the mixture of material into the working chamber, applying an additional coating to the additional layer of the mixture of material, and curing the additional coating applied to the additional layer of the mixture of material to form an additional portion of the veneer product.

Binder jetting additive manufacturing for veneer applications

A veneer panel may include a face veneer, a first inner layer bonded to the face veneer, a second inner layer bonded to the first inner layer, and a thermally conductive backing layer bonded to the second inner layer. The first inner layer and the second inner layer are treated with a flame retardant. The first inner layer is disposed between the face veneer and the second inner layer, and the second inner layer is disposed between the first inner layer and the thermally conductive backing layer.

Thermally layered fire treated veneer panel

A veneer panel includes a face layer formed from a carbon fiber sheet. The veneer panel further includes a backing layer. The veneer panel further includes a thermoset dry film adhesive located between the face layer and the backing layer and attaching the face layer to the backing layer.

A method for sequencing veneer to lumbercore includes receiving a veneer grain width input and a veneer thickness input, determining a cut angle based on the veneer grain width input and the veneer thickness input, receiving a lumbercore width input and a lumbercore height input, determining a set of dimensions for a stack of lumber, and generating a template mapping the lumbercore to the stack of lumber, where the template is based on the lumbercore width input, the lumbercore height input, and the set of dimensions for the stack of lumber, where the lumbercore is rotated within the template at an angle relative to horizontal within the stack of lumber by an amount equal to the cut angle.

Method and system for sequencing veneer to lumbercore

A method of laminated object additive manufacturing for veneer applications may include, but is not limited to, loading at least one veneer into a laminated object additive manufacturing device, feeding a first layer of the at least one veneer over a working surface of the laminated object additive manufacturing device, cutting the first layer of the at least one veneer to form a first portion of the veneer product, actuating the working surface, feeding an additional layer of the at least one veneer over the first layer of the at least one veneer, and cutting the additional layer of the at least one veneer to form an additional portion of the veneer product. The at least one veneer may be fabricated from a mixture including wood product and a binder. The first layer and/or the additional layer may be cured.

Laminated object additive manufacturing for veneer applications

A method of extrusion additive manufacturing for veneer applications may include, but is not limited to, loading material into an extruder, generating a mixture from the material, and fabricating the veneer product. Fabricating the veneer product may include depositing a first portion of the mixture on a working surface of the extruder, actuating the working surface, and depositing an additional portion of the mixture on the working surface of the extruder proximate to the first position of the mixture deposited on the working surface. Where the first portion of the mixture and the additional portion of the mixture form a first layer of the veneer product, fabricating the veneer product may include actuating a nozzle of the extruder and depositing an additional layer of the mixture on the first layer of the veneer product. The material may include wood product and a binder.
