The company Aectual has presented an interesting collection with its “3D Printed Wood” series. The 3D-printed objects are mainly made from wood waste and are therefore biodegradable. The first “Wood Series” includes customizable room dividers and window shades.
“3D Printed Wood” contains natural ingredients such as lignin and cellulose as well as plant fibers such as linen or hemp to increase strength. The color, smell and physical properties are similar to those of real wood.
In contrast to conventional wood products, the material comes from wood industry waste. The CO2-binding production process is also climate-friendly and reduces the ecological footprint.
Aectual currently offers its “Wood Series” with customizable room divider designs such as “Curve”, “Nazca” and “Mesh” as well as the “Stripe Ava” window shading system. The unique pieces from the 3D printer can be produced up to 2×1 meters in size and seamlessly connected to form larger surfaces.
The key feature is the recyclability of the material. After use, products made from “3D printed wood” can be recycled and reprinted to create new objects. Aectual thus closes the material cycle in the long term.
