PrinTimber’s recently published paper in Advances in Mechanical Engineering Journal
The aims of this work were to investigate the printability of high-fraction wood and sodium-silicate composites (WSSC) for additive manufacturing and to develop a screw extrusion-based process to demonstrate this approach for building construction applications. A custom additive manufacturing system was fabricated, and mixtures of 40%–60% wood fiber and 60%–40% sodium silicate were printed. The…
U of I Team Aims to Revolutionize Affordable Housing with 3D-Printed Wood Waste
Affordable housing is not a luxury, it’s a basic need. University of Idaho is developing technology to make housing more affordable nationwide by using Idaho wood waste to make one of the most sustainable building construction materials on the market. They’re combining sawdust and other wood byproducts with bio-based glue to create a medium…
