3D Printed Wood?

[John Kananis]

This article popped up in my news feeds and I thought it may be interesting to some.

Thanks, yes, very interesting. Early stages but something to keep an eye on.

Appreciate the spirit of your sharing, but sorry- I leave pages like that within about 5-7 seconds.
Difficult to know what's "content" from advertising, based on the barrage of garbage/popups.
It's like diving into a dumpster, looking for a lost penny. Just not worth it, IMHO.
And finally, based on all the above, I find the content highly suspicious anyway.

Now, please excuse me while I re-open my crap cleaner app and wipe off the 1,500 new trackers I just picked up by opening that page.

Oh it wasn't my intention, apologies...I use an ad blocker but what trackers? Just don't accept cookies or click ads, right?

I thought it was interesting and the research began at MIT so figured there was some credibility there.

Better stay off Jeff's lawn!

I also thought this was interesting, though the bit about ending deforestation was nonsensical: much (if not most) of this occurs as a result of clearing land for purposes other than harvesting timber.

I stick with natures product.
I don’t think man can do better

I have a 3d printer. The wood is just wood colored plastic like the other filaments. It doesn't get great reviews.
