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.

An intriguing 3D printing project from the University of California Berkeley aims to use natural resources like salt and wood to reduce 3D printing costs.

Additionally, as Dagher explains, wood is a renewable resource, making the material all the more attractive. “3D-printing, this is not new,” says Gürsoy Toykoç, who develops applications for ...

Sulapac’s solution for 3D printing, a material from its Sulapac Flow family, is the most recent addition to GEHR’s eco-line because of its scientifically verified sustainability features. The material ...

They combined wood waste and bio-resins to form the base material used by an extra-large 3D printer, which pumped out the entire home, layer by layer, including its floors, walls, and roof.

The resulting material, described in a study published March 15 in Science Advances, looks, feels and smells like natural wood and is physically similar to work with. Wood-based 3D-printing itself ...

The team believes that the 3D-printed bonds could be made even stronger if the wood was etched using lasers to create more complex structures or larger pores for the other material to bond with.

A sofa, a coffin and a stackable multipurpose cube are among the items that were displayed in Add Wood, an exhibition exploring the potential of recyclable and biodegradable 3D-printed timber.

«By strengthening natural wood using environmentally friendly and cost-effective methods, our researchers are laying the groundwork for a new generation of biomaterials that could potentially replace ...
