trees

3d printing has been all about body parts. Why start there? The technology is far to immature at this point for successful implementation of engineered tissues. Let's start with something a little...

Re: trees

I don't think you would want to print a plant, cell by cell as it were. You might be able to, but I don't think it is really possible. You may find [en.wikipedia.org] a good place to start.

Looks like some sort of composit but anyone try this stuff? [www.matterhackers.com]

Re: trees

There's more grant money available to develop human tissues - so the research is on human tissue and not plant. There is also the the environment to consider. You mess up a human tissue you kill one...

Re: trees

only if the plant/tree, gets loose. This can also happen with humans, and plants are easy to manage. I think I might give this a try, like a project.

Re: trees

OK, the plants won't get loose, but there pollen can and then crossbreed with the natural plants. Like the genetically modified corn that cross breeds with regular corn.

Re: trees

Not to put a damper on this enthusiasm, but corn is a GM plant, as are chilis and potatoes. The excellent farmers and scientists in pre-Columbian South America had a leg up on George Washington Carver...

Re: trees

... hmm, I wouldn't compare GM with breeding! While breeding selects only the 'normal' variations of the genome -- GM can be a complete recreation or mixing sequences from different species: e.g....

True. It wasn't an exact comparison of course. I find the subject fascinating, but I'd prefer not to be in the Petri dish...

Re: trees

Back track. Let's try something simple for now. I'm looking for an automatic seed planting machine. I will put up $500 dollars to somebody who comes up with a device that can plant a 32' x 16' (or 512...

I don't care who does it. Could be OSU, could be someone in his or her back yard. Point is it gets done.

GPS controlled lawnmower pulling a billy goat seeder would do it. Cost around $2500 (USD)

Re: trees

Definitely an intersting idea, and it's quite smart to take plant cells as most of them are pluripotent anyways (the charactersitic that mammal cells only have as embryonic stem cells (and cancer...

I'm not sure what 3D printing trees is about, but suppose someone wants to make a complex shape from wood. Grid up some live tree root into sawdust, add root growth hormone, nutrient solution. Pack...
