by Julien Gardan; Lionel Roucoules
International Journal of Rapid Manufacturing (IJRAPIDM), Vol. 2, No. 4, 2011

Abstract: Wood has several advantages that are transferable to various derivates allowing the introduction of a sustainable material into the product lifecycle. The objective of this paper is to apply a design for manufacturing approach based on wood flour rapid prototyping, while associating the requirements of the 'mass customisation' in the implementation of a customised product. New collaborative software allows consumers to be involved in the design process. Prototyping processes allow direct manufacturing of products.
