Researchers at New York’s Columbia University have unveiled a method of vibrantly replicating the external and internal structure of materials such as wood using a 3D printer and specialist scanning ...

Engineers at Columbia University have 3D-printed a block of "digital wood", using a voxel technique that enables the creation of objects with rich internal textures. The resin block is modelled on an ...

NASA's Webb Telescope, which is equipped with very advanced infrared capabilities, recently caught the glowing echo of this light. These echoes allowed astronomers to take a new, high-quality image of ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant, which bears wood grain-like patterns ...

Adding textures is a great way to experiment with giving 3D prints a different look, and [PandaN] shows off a method of adding a wood grain effect in a way that’s easy to play around with. It involves ...

Wood shavings have been turned into 3D printer ink to make objects that start off as damp, flat sheets and then twist and warp into shape as they dry. This method of 3D printing could make wood sturdy ...
