Dr Michael Rosenthal | Revolutionizing 3D-Printing of Wood with Liquid Deposition Modelling

About this episode

Current wood processing techniques rely on subtractive manufacturing, where material is carved away from a block of wood to reach the desired shape. However, this approach is inherently wasteful: producing thousands of tons of wood residue each year in Germany alone. The most promising solution to this problem is additive manufacturing, or 3D printing: where materials are deposited layer-by-layer. With this approach, much of the material involved in the manufacturing process appears in the final product, resulting in far greater material efficiency compared to subtractive manufacturing.
