Processing
The wood from pruning can be used in products with unique characteristics, which explore their shapes, and in more standardized products, requiring modifications in the pieces that are pruned. These modifications are actually cuts made along the logs, generating pieces of wood with standardized dimensions that facilitate their later use in various products and are carried out in the processing stage, which can be divided into primary processing (or splitting) and processing. secondary.
Processing can be carried out empirically, based on the knowledge acquired over time, or with the help of programs/software, more common in manufacturing environments that seek greater parts yield. This step can become a major generator of waste in the production chain of a product, so it is necessary that the processing of wood is included in the idealization step, in order to guarantee the maintenance of the sustainability of the process.
