The wood block is an example of 3D printed wood as a possible building material that can be mass-customized.

The additive layer manufacturing of the Wood Block creates a grain similar to natural wood.

The wood material is composed of recycled agricultural waste.

The texture and subtle translucency of the 3D printed wood material gives the material a warmth, texture and luminosity under certain lighting conditions. The Wood Block can be used as a curtian wall or as a customized masonry unit.
