Let's find the synonyms!

Plywood: Compensato
Plywood is a type of engineered wood made from thin sheets of wood, called plies or wood veneers. The layers are glued together so that adjacent plies have their grain at right angles to each other for greater strength. There are usually an odd number of plies, as the symmetry makes the board less prone to warping.

MDF: MDF
Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres and combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. It is made up of separated fibers, but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood.

Particleboard: Truciolato
Particleboard (or chipboard in the UK, Australia and some other countries) is an engineered wood product manufactured from wood particles, such as wood chips, sawmill shavings or even saw dust, and a synthetic resin or other suitable binder, which is pressed and extruded.

Glued laminated wood: Legno lamellare
Glue laminated wood is created by gluing several uniform layers of wood in the direction of the wood’s fibre. Before wood can be laminated, it has to be categorised on the basis of its natural imperfections then given a strength rating. In addition, the moisture content of the wood is verified. Only once these checks have been carried out are the strips of wood prepared for lamination.

Chipboard: Truciolato
