Desktop Metal announced the launch of Forust, a new process to sustainably produce functional end-use wood parts using its patented single pass binder jetting Additive Manufacturing technology.

 .

The Forust process upcycles waste byproducts from wood manufacturing (cellulose dust) and the paper industry (lignin) and re-materializes functional wood parts through high-speed 3D printing including digital grain throughout the part. Desktop Metal’s high-speed 3D printing technology offers architects, designers and manufacturers a new path to produce luxurious custom wood pieces for home decor, interiors, transportation, and architectural design with a superior environmental footprint, new geometries and quality unavailable from subtractive wood manufacturing technology.
