A group of researchers from Canada’s University of Western Ontario has developed and tested 3D-printed mounting mechanisms for the wood racking of PV modules. The open-source designs, aside from ...

D printers are built for additive manufacturing. However, at heart, they are really just simple CNC motion platforms, and can ...

Celwise’s patented tooling, machines and processes transform wood fiber into water-resistant packaging and products that are recyclable, renewable and biodegradable A key part of Celwise’s production ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

3D printing has lost its novelty value a bit, but new printing materials that MakerBot plans to release will soon make it a lot more interesting again. MakerBot is one of the best-known makers of ...

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 ...
