“…More detailed models for the cellular structure of wood were designed and printed (FDM using ABS) by Ufodike et al (2021) presenting the pits on the radial wall of the tracheid. The dimension of the base unit cells was around 70x65x60 mm in the Z, X, and Y directions, respectively, and the cell size was significantly higher than in this study.…”

Wood is a complex, natural structure and an essential source of nutrition, construction and building materials, energy, etc. Because of its microscopic structure, it is difficult to model its composition. In this study, the bio-mimicry of annual rings of the wood was evaluated by modeling and printing four different models with different ring diameters. The CATIA v5 software was used for 3D modeling. The designed models were additively manufactured using a 3D printer via the fused deposition of the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) filament. The infill density and type, shell, layer height, and printing speed were evaluated for their influence on the structure of the ring. According to the results of preliminary biomimetic experimental, none of the models were exactly printed using the FDM method and ABS filament. Furthermore, the printing parameters did not significantly improve ring structure formation. Only the earlywood section of Model 4 could be moderately printed. Therefore, using these tools with printing parameters and materials was not found to be suitable for bio-mimicry of tree rings even if the size of the rings was multiplied by ten. In future work, the same models will be printed using different methods and tools to evaluate the printing ability or differences.

“…Ufodike and co-authors designed and FFF 3D-printed novel biomorphic cellular structures inspired by the microstructures of cedar, oak and palm wood. The mechanical behavior and energy absorption capabilities of designed structures ( Figure 9 ) have been studied, and the results suggest that wood microstructures could serve as good model for rational design of additively manufactured porous biomorphic materials and help to decrease material consumption at adequate mechanical properties [ 80 ].…”

Polymers filled with natural-based fillers have shown growing demand/interest in recent years, including in additive manufacturing. Like most natural fillers in 3D printing, wood particles serve mainly as a filler that lowers the cost of the printing material due to their low price. However, could wood be used as a main ingredient to affect/improve the properties of 3D-printed parts? Several advantages, such as its reinforcing ability, biodegradability, availability as waste material from other industries, ability to be used in different forms or only in partial components, recycling options or even the use of its undesirable hydromorph-induced dimensional instability for 4D printing, indicate the importance of exploring its use in 3D printing. A review of publications on 3D printing with wood biomass and technologies involving the use of wood particles and components was conducted to identify the possibilities of using wood in additive technologies and their potential.
