Abstract As additive manufacturing technologies advance, new opportunities are opening up for their application in the
furniture industry. Wood remains one of the leading raw materials in the furniture industry; therefore, possible
options for combining it with 3D printing have been researched. The bonding of 3D-printed polymer parts with
wood or 3D printing with wood-plastic composites is already known, but in our research we attempted to directly
3D print polylactic acid (PLA) on wood surfaces. The effect of printing parameters, as well as the surface preparation of wood on the shear strength of the bond between… More >
