2022Year8moon24Today, to promote the economical, reliable and sustainable use of wood waste, the American companyForest3DThe company began producing large quantities of lumber3DPrint. To do this, it uses the speed, precision and quality of the binder jetting process to produce strong and lightweight wooden parts. The company used two types of wood waste as printing materials: sawdust and lignin.
Above all 3DIt is particularly important to contribute to the circular materials value chain and ultimately achieve net zero carbon emissions. According to the company, every year worldwide150Billions of trees are cut down to make paper, houses and furniture, which amounts to8400Thousands of tons of sawdust. Part of this waste is recycled and sold on downstream markets for use in the manufacture of particle boards or wood pellets for energy purposes. Of course, there are many possibilities for recycling this waste, which also opens up the possibility of other avenues.

Above all 3DEnjoy high speed3DPrinting technology gives new life to these discarded resources. The company uses wood waste to produce strong, beautiful and environmentally friendly wooden products. The manufacturing process used consists of2021annual acquisitionsPresidentofOfficeMetalDeveloped by the company, it is based on the use of industrial sawdust waste as3DPrinting materials for mass production of furniture, architecture, consumer goods and even luxury car interiors.
Above all 3DProducts are manufactured using small and large binder jet printers. This allows products to be manufactured at different scales: smaller printers for batch production and larger printers for mass production. The printing process begins by spreading sawdust onto a build plate, then the machine’s inkjet nozzle travels through the material, spraying adhesive and ink onto the lignin to take shape , which is also the case.Above all 3DOne of the features of the company’s printing process. Regarding the materials used, the company does not need to use additional binders, as lignin from wood waste is used as a binder, which creates another environmental benefit.

Above all 3DThe binder jetting process not only offers the ability to print smooth, texture-free wood surfaces, but also demonstrates unprecedented technology for simulating true wood grain through wood products. This effect can make the final product virtually indistinguishable from natural wood. This could be particularly interesting for designers, as it allows them to create complex organic shapes that are more difficult, or almost impossible, to achieve in ordinary wood manufacturing.
