Mimicking the ultrastructure of wood with 3D-printing for green products

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have succeeded in 3D printing with a wood-based ink in a way that mimics the unique ‘ultrastructure’ of wood. Their research could revolutionise the manufacturing of green products. Through emulating the natural cellular architecture of wood, they now present the ability to create green products derived from trees, with unique properties — everything from clothes, packaging, and furniture to healthcare and personal care products.
