Researchers from Rice University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new 3D printing technology that recycles wood waste material. According to the paper Three-dimensional printing of wood in Science Advances, the new methodology results in 3D printed objects with the texture, appearance, thermal stability, and smell of natural wood.
