The quest for rare wood is endangering forests. Now we can just 3D-print replicas made from wood waste instead. The most trafficked wild product in the world isn’t ivory or rhino horn, but rosewood, ...

BOSTON - A new 3D printing tool takes two waste products from wood and paper manufacturing - sawdust and lignin - and re-materializes them into functional wood parts. Unlike particleboard or laminate, ...

A new printing system called Forust is using scrap wood to 3D print wooden objects that are as structurally sound as regular carved wood. Created by Andrew Jeffery and a team of researchers at Desktop ...

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 ...

Researchers at Rice University have unlocked the potential to use 3D printing to make sustainable wood structures, offering a greener alternative to traditional manufacturing methods. Wood has ...

You can 3D print just about anything these days, from car parts to cakes. Most additive manufacturing uses plastic or metal (or sugar), because it is easy to melt these materials down and extrude them ...

A San Francisco-based company, Emerging Objects, has created new 3D printing materials that aren't just the standard plastic, but composed of wood, concrete, and even salt. Share on Facebook (opens in ...
