the plywood market therefore increases worldwide every day.

Benefits of plywood in furniture industry in Bangladesh

 Environmental Investment: Plywood is s natural product. It is also one of the most


environmentally friendly decorative products among consumer.
 High strength and stability: The structural strength of Plywood is derived from the
wood from which it is manufactured. In addition to the plywood properties obtained due
to its laminated construction. In static bending strength plywood is stronger than steel.
The unique cross-layered structure is what makes Plywood so solid. In fact the adhesives
used to bind the plywood veneers are stronger than the wood itself.
In contrast to natural wood, good plywood quality does not change its size when the
content of humidity or humidity changes. It does not expand or contract. This is the
greatest benefit of splintering.
 Cost effective: Plywood is very cost effective. Plywood is very cheaper than wood.
There will be very little wastage. It can be practically utilize every square inch of a
standard plywood sheet. Because it’s light, transporting plywood also shouldn’t be a
problem.
 Flexibility: Plywood can be produced according to all needs, as opposed to cut wood.
Plywood can be used any shape surface smoothly and easily to make furniture more
useful and modern.
 Moisture and fire resistance: The adhesive form used to connect the furnace makes the
wooden floor resistant to humidity and moisture. A paint or varnish layer may also
improve water damage resistance. Moisture resistance is very important in furniture
applications. The cross laminations make sure that veneers do not shrink or expand when
unprotected to water and extreme temperature.
Fire resistance chemical coating can be used to treat plywood. It is most often mixed with
non-fuel materials like plasterboard or fiber cement. So that it can be protected from fire
and high temperature.
 Durability: Plywood will last long for long time of period. Ply can hold better than solid
wood with a uniform strength around the body and along the grain. Plywood becomes
resistant to the pressure exerted during production combined with strong veneers and
adhesives. This durability makes plywood so useful in furniture industry.
 Unique: In furniture industry the natural features of wood always attracts the consumers
than any other materials. The features of wood have some limitations in making modern
furniture. With high stability and flexibility, plywood can be used in any shape or can
make any curve smoothly easily. For that main reason plywood creates uniqueness in
making modern furniture.

Since the benefits of plywood are enormous, plywood plays an important role in furniture
industry in Bangladesh. In contrast to wood, plywood are now easily available in all over the
country. Many leading furniture brands like Otobi, Akter, Partex furniture are offering best
plywood furniture. Due to plywood inherent properties like durability, flexibility, high strength,
cost etc. made a way to the furniture industry and creates a value among the consumer.

3D printed furniture:[CITATION Ber \l 1033 ]

3D printing creates waves across the furniture production industry from concept to production.
The ways major industries create prototyped goods, with new concepts can make shape in a
matter of hours. Although large scale of 3D printing is become more and more possible how the
technology is consistently used to develop consumer products on small scale.

In the furniture business the traditional process requires significant time and huge investment in
design section. Prototypes are made, model tested and reworked to reach a finished product. It is
now possible to build a 3D printed furniture functional designs n a completely digitized process
chain on large-scale 3D printers and advanced CAD software. This advance technology allows to
explore new, modern forms in furniture industry. Many renowned brands like IKEA are now
presenting this advanced and modern furniture line in the furniture industry. Because of simple,
modern outlook and less costly, the demand of 3D printed furniture increasing massively.

But unfortunately, in Bangladesh furniture industry are still struggling to introduce 3D printed
furniture among the consumers. Lack of advanced 3D printers and software Bangladesh furniture
industry cannot produce this prototype furniture. As a result, companies have imported the
machineries and workers to produce the product. This will increase the production cost. In
Bangladesh Leading furniture brands follows competitive price strategy. As it is a news product
and high cost, the consumer demand will be very low. As a new technology in Bangladesh, it
will raise many legal concerns too.

To introduce 3D printed furniture Bangladesh furniture industry can solve this problem by
following these steps

 Create Brand value: As this prototype 3D printed are new in Bangladesh, Companies
have to create the brand value. However, companies have to import the equipment and
labor, the production cost will be high. As a result, the price of the product also will be
high. To create a proper brand value can increase the demand of product. Loyal consume
will willing to pay the price of the product even though it is high.
 Legal issues: As it is a new technology it can create legal issues In Bangladesh. If
Bangladesh take initiatives to develop copy right issue and the licensing system for
industrial manufacturers and allow to import 3D printers and scanners only for furniture
manufacture purpose. Then furniture industry can easily import the equipment and create
the new product.
