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, ...

MOSCOW, Idaho — The University of Idaho is developing technology to turn Idaho wood waste into architectural millwork and construction materials on the market — by using it as a medium for 3D-printing ...

The materials you can use to produce 3D prints have exploded over the past few years. One of those materials is wood (or "wood"). Having been provided a spool of filament, I decided to put it through ...

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 ...

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 ...

Once the hottest thing in gadgetry, 3D printers have become less buzzy as folks tire of ABS figurines. 3Doodler is trying to shake things up a bit with its 3Doodler Pro, a freehand pen that can print ...

The future of 3D printing may depend on the ability print things with properties beyond cheap plastic. We've seen composite materials appear for 3D printers before, but the arrival of MakerBot to the ...

Researchers have succeeded in 3D printing with a wood-based ink in a way that mimics the unique 'ultrastructure' of wood. Their research could revolutionize the manufacturing of green products.

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 ...
