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, ...

NASA's Webb Telescope, which is equipped with very advanced infrared capabilities, recently caught the glowing echo of this light. These echoes allowed astronomers to take a new, high-quality image of ...

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 ...

This intricate, lightweight "Greenaxe" electric guitar by Olaf Diegel shows off a new 3D printing technique that turns waste products like sawdust into high-strength, production-grade wood parts that ...

In its natural state, lignin is a tightly cross-linked organic polymer that plays an important role in giving plants and trees their rigidity. But when these resources are converted into paper, the ...

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, ...

At last, a use for that industrial knitting machine you bought at a yard sale! Carnegie Mellon researchers have created a method that generates knitting patterns for arbitrary 3D shapes, opening the ...

Just when you think you’ve learned all the latest 3D printing tricks, [TenTech] shows up with an update to their Fuzzyficator post-processing script. This time, the GPL v3 licensed program has gained ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant, which bears wood grain-like patterns ...
