I'm new, and I've never seen veneer torsion box sandwich panels before. I'm finding lots of info on sandwich panels, but not torsion box core. Where can I research torsion box structure? Thanks!

How do they differ from a typical cheap interior door?

Many regular interior doors have paper honeycomb or no core. We use a veneer grid embedded in EPS foam, sandwiched with veneer skins. Are there other veneer cores to compare this with?

Then you would be looking for information on 'grid core', eh?

Making the grid from veneer adds some anisotropy that could be interesting, but for a first pass, is the grid material really important?
