Additive Manufacturing of Wood Composite Parts by Individual Layer Fabrication.
Additive Manufacturing processes that are using wood particles as feedstock material either require large amounts of binder or have relatively poor mechanical properties. This paper details the novel Individual Layer Fabrication (ILF) process and the respective machinery which allow for the additive manufacturing of objects with a low binder content and high strength values. With flexural properties exceeding those of conventional particle boards, an application of objects produced via ILF in the construction industry is possible.
