NASA Is 3D Bioprinting Wood?

NASA and researchers from Stanford University are working towards being able to 3D print to make biomaterials such as wood and enamel in space. The process that they are working on will allow 3D bioprinters to make synthetic biomaterials out of clumps of cells.

NASA Is 3D Bioprinting Wood? NASA evolutionary biologist, Lynn Rothschild, is working with Diana Gentry and her Ph.D. students from Stanford to refine 3D bioprinting to transform specially engineered cells into diverse items such as human tissue, food, and structural wood beams. Gentry and Rothschild will not only work together to impress new possibilities for the medical and space technology, but their research could change the entire manufacturing industry to be able to make even the most common wood 2×4 within a laboratory environment.
