Scientists from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created wood ink that can be extruded into flat wooden structures, self-morphing into complex 3D shapes as they dry and shrink.

Researchers explain how complex 3D structures can be created by programming flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer to self-morph. ... the scientists learned how to program the print speed and ...

That’s so old school! Today, scientists will describe how flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer can be programmed to self-morph into complex 3D shapes. In the future, this technique could be ...

A new technique turns wood shavings into 3D printer ink to make objects that start off as damp, flat sheets and then twist and warp into shape as they dry. Close. Advertisement.

From there, they could even coax wood tissue to grow into fully-formed shapes—like, say, a table—in order to mitigate the environmental harm of the logging and construction industries ...
