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 ...

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 ...

In this video, I showcase a variety of unique end grain cutting boards crafted primarily from scrap wood. The process ...

Engineers at Columbia University have 3D-printed a block of "digital wood", using a voxel technique that enables the creation of objects with rich internal textures. The resin block is modelled on an ...

A Dutch company has developed technology for 3D printing floors in an endless variety of colours and patterns. Aectual uses huge robotic 3D printers to create the framework for its sustainable floors, ...

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 ...
