The interdisciplinary project Would wood is to establish a consortium for developing integrated material and production concepts for large-scale additive manufacture of advanced wood-based 3D structures. The goal is furniture and structural elements and, in the long term, medium to large-scale construction projects for the sustainable cities of the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Would wood is one of 31 new projects being financed with a total of SEK 16 million by Vinnova through its Challenge-Driven Innovation programme. The initiative for the application comes from three young architects: Cesilia Silvasti, Kayrokh Moattar and Lily Huang. The White architectural practice, the KTH School of Architecture and the Mechatronics group at Machine Design, KTH, as well as Innventia, are behind the application. The project is being coordinated by Mikael Lindstr\u00f6m, Innventia.<\/p>\n

The project aims to develop the sustainable materials of the future. New materials cannot be developed optimally if they have to be adapted to current manufacturing processes, which is why it is important that the production of the new innovative materials is organised in close cooperation with the development of new manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n

This particular project involves an innovative wood-based material for 3D printing and its manufacturing technique. The challenge is in modernising the current production technique for wood products, enabling it to be adapted for 3D printing. Would wood covers the development of materials, robotics and additive manufacturing processes, as well as design tools for developing sustainable wood-based composites that are suitable for medium\/large-scale 3D printing.<\/p>\n

\"Mikael_Lindstro\u0308m_180\"\u201cOur vision is to radically change the way we produce everything from furniture, accessories and structural elements to entire buildings. In that way, we lay the groundwork for a new chain of products and services based on 3D-printed wood,\u201d says Innventia\u2019s project manager Mikael Lindstr\u00f6m.<\/p>\n

Producing materials locally, to order, without large stocks, waste or middlemen and thusensuring quality and good working conditions is also an key driver inthe development of 3D-printing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that this technology will change the way we look at allaspects of sustainability, including quality of life, environment, logistics, materials strategies, energy and transportation. It\u2019s a very exciting time and we see 3D printed wood as an innovative,sustainable and obvious material in the biobased economy of the future,\u201d says Mikael.<\/p>\n

By working across industry boundaries in design and architecture, robotics and mechatronics, and materials engineering, the psychology of perception and the forestry industry, this project will generate interdisciplinary knowledge and interaction. The project intends to collaborate with other initiatives looking at additive manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
