3D Printed Timber Beams

It’s amazing what you can do with state of the art technology. Over the last few years or so, there’s been a lot of talk about 3D printing in the furniture industry, and it’s no wonder why. Many companies now provide geocast oak beams, and these are essentially beams made to look like real timber, but they’ve been made using a 3D printed mould.

The results are astonishing and you really won’t be able to tell the difference. But why not opt for the real thing, why choose a ‘fake beam’?

Well… I don’t know if you’ve ever tried lifting a timber beam or hanging one on your wall, but it can be a bit of a tough task! They’re extremely heavy, but the geocast version isn’t. They simply hook onto the wall like a mirror or a framed photo, and they can be placed closer to your stove or fire because they’re non-combustible.
