Recently the development and use of bio based materials is targeted in a lot of industries addressing the private and public sec-tor. When thinking about combining wood and plastic usually the wood component is used as a filling material or as a decorative surface. The goal of this research is to used wood veneer as a load bearing part in a composite as it is a natural fibre reinforced mate-rial with anisotropic characteristics. To reach this goal a combined manufacturing process (one-shot) including forming, cutting and injection moulding sequences is targeted to be developed. The single process parameter correlations between forming and cutting as well as the combination with and adhesion of plastic on veneers is presented.
