For the folks at Forust, there are a whole lot of benefits to the mass-production 3D printing process they’ve developed that they say can produce economically competitive products that look like real ...

Scientists have developed a new "ink" that allows objects to be 3D-printed out of wood. The material could reduce the amount of wood that gets wasted in the manufacturing of various products, plus it ...

3D printing is a kind of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) that enables the production of physical products via computer-aided designs (CAD). Compared to traditional manufacturing methods such as ...

This intricate, lightweight "Greenaxe" electric guitar by Olaf Diegel shows off a new 3D printing technique that turns waste products like sawdust into high-strength, production-grade wood parts that ...

3D printing "wood" has been with us for quite some time. Back in 2016, I showed how plastic filament infused with wood particles could be used to create objects that had a wood-like texture, could be ...

Maine doesn’t have enough affordable housing or enough workers to build more, but it does have quite a bit of excess wood fiber from its substantial forestry industry. Seeking a solution to those ...

GEHR (Mannheim, Germany) a producer of thermoplastic semi-finished products globally, introduces Eco-Fil-A-Gehr, a novel wood-based filament designed for professional 3D printing with high dimensional ...

If you're in the market for a 3D printer, you'll find one here that fits your needs. Read now The lamp could easily be a mid-century-modern showpiece, painstakingly hollowed out of a block of ...

As we barrel into the future, what used to happen only in nature is taking place in labs. In the new world of cellular agriculture, scientists are making meat without killing animals. And now it’s the ...

3D printing with materials like polymers and metal are fairly standard these days, but natural materials are still largely unexplored territory for this type of fabrication method. Until now, thanks ...

Wood is one of humanity’s oldest and most versatile building materials—but turning tree trunks into today’s plywood and two-by-fours generates huge amounts of waste. Each year the U.S. alone produces ...

Using wood—or to be more precise, cellulose derived from wood—is a hot R&D material, perhaps due to its biocompatibility and sustainability potential. A joint research team from Simon Fraser ...
