LAYWOO-D3 is a wood-based 3D printing filament invented by Kai Parthy and is designed for the RepRap and similar machines. It is a wood/polymer composite - the filament contains 40% recycled wood and harmless binding polymers. The material has similar thermal durability as PLA and can be printed between 175°C and 250°C.

After printing it looks and smells like wood and can also be handled like wood. Depending on the temperature you can even print wooden-like objects with annual rings. At 180°C, the prints has a light color, at 245°C it becomes darker. Afterwards the printed objects can be cut, grinded or painted.

Check out some print tests made by Gary Hodgson and Jeremie Francois.

Features of LAYWOO-D3 filament:

• 40% recycled wood
• very little warp
• Stick very well on the print bed
• Can be grinded, sanded and painted
• Excellent flow properties
• Similar thermal durability as PLA

 

LAYWOO-D3 filament is sold in coils of 250 grams (0.55lbs) and it comes in both 1.75mm and 3mm diameter.
