Although the components of wood – cellulose and lignin – are exceedingly cheap and plentiful, combining these into a wood-like structure is not straightforward, despite many attempts to make these ...

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 ...

The ability to drastically change your shape is hailed within the pages of comic books and movies as one of the premier superpowers. The Hulk (now streaming on Peacock!) pulls it off through a ...

In a study published last year, MIT researchers demonstrated a method for creating lab-grown wood with custom shapes — meaning that one day soon, we may be able to produce 3D-printed wooden furniture.

Adding textures is a great way to experiment with giving 3D prints a different look, and [PandaN] shows off a method of adding a wood grain effect in a way that’s easy to play around with. It involves ...

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 ...

Can these 3D printed plastic saw blades cut through wood, paper, cardboard, or plywood? This video tests the cutting ...

Wood shavings have been turned into 3D printer ink to make objects that start off as damp, flat sheets and then twist and warp into shape as they dry. This method of 3D printing could make wood sturdy ...

When it comes to the materials that will be used to construct future cities, you’d think we could do a lot better than wood. After all, society graduated to stronger stone constructions about three or ...

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 ...

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 ...

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and the old saying couldn’t be truer of the waste industry. From food to packaging to the construction industry, waste is everywhere—but sometimes it can be ...
