With a borrowed CNC router, we cut all the pieces for this Eames chair from a single sheet of wood. Follow our plans and you’ll have a flat-pack chair that comes together without any of those ...

The Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) at the University of Stuttgart has released prototypes for self-forming wood furniture that requires no assembly.

Humans have used wood as a construction material for over 10,000 years—shredding, sawing, steaming, gluing, and 3D-printing it into increasingly innovative shapes. But new technology now ...

The plans are then given over to a set of robots, which create the component parts. What it does: A pair of Kuka robot arms measure wood and offer it up to a circular saw for cutting.

ByProducts was inspired by the idea of saving discarded wood cutoffs in a way that is both eco-conscious and clever. Made from baltic birch, each chair and table actually capitalizes on the shapes ...

That’s so old school! Today, scientists will describe how flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer can be programmed to self-morph into complex 3D shapes. In the future, this technique could be ...

From apartment blocks to flat-pack mass housing and plans for wooden skyscrapers from Stockholm to Vancouver, wood is finally becoming a viable option in the mainstream construction industry - and ...
