A method of and system for designing and constructing high-density multi-story wood-framed buildings, and Class-A fire-protected building components, and methods and factories for producing the same in an economical manner. An on-job-site method is provided for treating wood-framed buildings so that such wood-framed buildings demonstrate Class-A fire-protection and improved defense against total fire destruction.

The invention relates to a method for operating a processing apparatus and to a corresponding processing apparatus. Such a method and such an apparatus can be used in the field of furniture and components industry, for example for processing a plate-shaped workpiece made of wood, of a wood material, a wood-like material, of a composite material or a combination thereof.

There is provided a system 1 of manufacturing a corrugated board, including: a corrugated-shape processing apparatus 4 for processing a board in a corrugated shape by curving the board; a shaping apparatus 5 for adjusting a corrugated board acquired by processing the board in a corrugated shape; and a stabilizing apparatus 6 for stabilizing the corrugated board being shaped in the corrugated shape, the corrugated-shape processing apparatus 4 including a first pressing jig 25 and a second pressing jig 27 each of which is in a roller-like shape provided on its surface with asperities to press a board into a corrugated board, being disposed facing each other, the shaping apparatus 5 including: a third pressing jig 45 and a fourth pressing jig 48 each of which has a surface with asperities in which a distance between adjacent apexes of the asperities is substantially identical to that of a surface with asperities of the corrugated board; and a heater 59, the stabilizing apparatus 6 including a fifth pressing jig 65 and a sixth pressing jig 68 each of which has a surface with asperities in which a distance between adjacent apexes of the asperities is substantially identical to that of a surface with asperities of the corrugated board after the heat-press process; and a cooling unit 69. As a result, a single board can be processed in a corrugated shape and a state of the corrugated shape can be maintained.

A method for producing a wood veneer, where the wood veneer is provided as a decorative layer for a trim piece for a vehicle interior, wherein the molded part has at least one line element on a visible side, can involve the steps of a) providing a wood blank, b) generating two-dimensional cutting data by developing a designated three-dimensional shape of the wood veneer c) forming wood slats by cutting out the two-dimensional developed form of the wood veneer from the wood blank and slicing the two-dimensional developed form along the developed line elements on the basis of the two-dimensional cutting data, d) layering and gluing the cut wood slats to form a veneer block, e) compressing the wood slats and curing the veneer block, f) separating the veneer block into wood veneers. Moreover, the invention relates to a veneer block, a molded part, and corresponding methods of production.

Provided is a system and method of making a door having first and second door skins and an internal frame. The top and bottom surfaces of the frame are coated with an adhesive and the frame is placed on a first door skin. The second door skin is then placed on the opposite surface of the frame. The assembled components are then pressed to bond the first and second door skins to the frame with a press having upper and lower dies configured to impart a larger compression force toward a central area of the door skins. Wear resistant belts or membranes are provided to protect the door skins from being marred by the upper and lower dies during the pressing process.

This disclosure is directed to methods of separating wood veneer material by property measurements, and thereafter improving the properties of veneer material with property values lower than a target threshold value, until those materials meet or exceed that threshold values. In some aspects of the disclosure, veneer materials are prepared, non-destructively measured, and separated into passing and failing material collections. The failing material collection may then be treated to improve the density and flexural modulus of the material therein. Also disclosed herein are products and materials incorporating the treated veneer materials according to the disclosed methods.
