Abstract
Exploring design and post processing considerations for additively manufactured light shades made from a recycled wooden media. The base media is collected from various waste streams including paper and furniture making. This wood pulp is then glued together with a binder layer by layer to produce a porous base structure. The printed part is then infiltrated with an epoxy resin to add strength and protection to the surface. This report will explore the various design considerations for printing with wood, including creating transparent elements. Also exploring the benefits of different types of post processing techniques, infiltration medias and coatings.
