The company has produced the wooden filament for 3D printing.
The filament is the latest in the company’s range for use in its CoLiDo 3D printers, and allows users to print 3D objects that “look and smell like wood”. Print-Rite stated that the “revolutionary new material” gives printed 3D objects a “wooden-like appearance”, and a tree’s “growth ring” effect can be seen on the surface of the printed object.
The filament is said by the company to be “recommended for interior designers” in order to “present their design[s to] clients”, and is available in both PLA and ABS filament material. Print-Rite first announced its 3D printers in April 2014, with the first CoLiDo printer officially launched in June 2014. The company’s range expanded to three more models in October 2014, and it presented a seminar about 3D printing at Remanexpo@Paperworld 2015.
