Wooden objects are usually made by sawing, carving, bending or pressing. But now, scientists have developed flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer which can be programmed to self-morph into complex shapes. In the future, this technique could be used to make furniture or other wooden products that could be shipped flat to a destination and then dried to form the desired final shape.
