Ortur LU3-40A Settings for Plywood: 1.6 to 15 mm

6 manufacturer-published reference rows for plywood on the LU3-40A (40W) from Ortur match this reference, read 2026-09-21. CutChart has not tested them. Each row links to its publisher’s document, and a field that document does not print is shown as not specified. Material safety statements are quoted from Creality, Epilog Laser and xTool.

CutChart cover card on a dark grid plate: a four by four grid with one cell filled and its row and column marked, a material and laser badge, and the printed line "Ortur LU3-40A Settings for Plywood: 1.6 to 15 mm".

Material safety statements from the sources

Plywood

The cited source documents conditions for plywood. They apply to every plywood row on this page.

The cited safety pages name wood but not plywood or its adhesive; the Creality Falcon parameter rows print Walnut Plywood and Rosewood Plywood without a glue type.

Reviewed 2026-09-21; expires 2026-12-20. These statements are quoted from the publisher and are not a complete safety procedure.

Source-documented settings for plywood on the LU3-40A (40W)

Manufacturer-published reference parameters, not tested by CutChart

Match the machine, material and operation before reading a value. Speed is shown in the source unit and in mm/s, rounded to two decimals. Each row names its publisher and the date we read the document. A field the publisher does not print is shown as not specified; CutChart never fills it in.

No publisher prints air assist, focus and lens for any row below, so every row repeats that field with the name of its own publisher.

6 rows, each with the thickness its publisher printed. On a narrow screen each row is shown as a labelled block.

Read the evidence in context

Our source process explains the checks behind a row. The speed converter changes units; it does not move a setting to another machine. Check power labels with the optical-watt decoder, and read the safety limits before choosing a material.

Common questions

Can I use a row on another machine?

Each row belongs to the stated machine and configuration. A matching wattage or material name does not establish a setting for another machine.

Why are some fields marked not specified?

The publisher’s table prints speed, power and thickness, and sometimes passes, but not air assist, focus or lens. CutChart shows each unprinted field as not specified rather than filling it in.

Why are some combinations absent?

CutChart publishes a row only when its source, exact machine, material, operation and a sourced material-safety statement meet the reference requirements. An absent row is an unknown answer.

  1. When a laser engraver engraves or cuts materials, it casts a high-density laser beam that heats the surface to vaporize materials without burning them. But most materials are inherently flammable and can be ignited, which may burn the machine and the surroundings.
