3D Printing the Ultrastructure of Wood

Caption

3D printing with sustainable Swedish forest materials. The microscopy images of real wood tissue and the 3D printed version show how the researchers mimicked the real wood's cellular architecture. The printed version is at a larger scale for ease of handling and display, but the researchers are able to print at any scale.
