Quality research of edge banding of unit furniture

Abstract

Edge banding is used to cover cut sides of wood materials such as plywood or particleboard. The quality of two different furniture edge banding materials and their thickness were studied in this paper. The research was focused on most widely used in the Lithuanian furniture industry acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and oak veneer. The experiments were performed to investigate the mechanical properties of materials and SolidWorks Simulation were made as well. The conclusions and recommendations can ensure the improvement and optimization of the processes of furniture industry. Structure of the paper: introduction, review of literature, methodology of experiment, results of research and their consideration, conclusions, references.
