Researchers at New York’s Columbia University have unveiled a method of vibrantly replicating the external and internal structure of wood using 3D printing.

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… ...

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.

Embossing (making raised shapes) and debossing (making sunken shapes) on 3D-printed surfaces is not a new idea; we do it all the time. [Cory] from Vancouver Hack Space was playing around with 3D pr… ...

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

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured detailed images of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant, revealing wood grain-like patterns in interstellar dust. These unprecedented 3D views offer new ...
