This presentation reports on the progress of the active FWPA project ‘Microtimber – Development of a 3D-printed, gradient timber panel composed of forestry waste and by-products’ (PNA359-1516).
The project aim is to develop both the semi-green material and the 3-D printing technology for panels and will demonstrate the technologies through a strong and highly marketable prototype at production-scale. It will seek to utilise forestry waste as feedstock in this process. 3-D-printing technology may have significant implications for future timber and construction industries.
The webinar highlights progress to date, advances in the field of 3-D printing technologies and the key points being investigated for the remainder of the project.
Presenter:
Sandra Löschke is Senior Lecturer and Director of Architecture Design and Technology at the University of Sydney.
