Features of 3D Lumber Market

① Abundant one-of-a-kind domestic wood

Forestry associations and forestry businesses directly exhibit, and there is an abundance of one-of-a-kind wood that does not go through normal distribution. Both coniferous and broadleaf trees, such as zelkova and ginkgo planks and standing trees (trees standing before being cut down), are on sale. You can find the perfect wood for your DIY projects and renovations.

② You can measure size and shape on the screen
There are two ways to post on the 3D Lumber Market. You can post measurable posts using the iOS app “3D Lumber Market” from a LiDAR-enabled iPhone, and easily post photos only. With “measurable posts,” you can measure distance, curvature, and area on the screen. Since solid wood, which often has complex shapes, can be measured at any point, you can easily check whether it fits the size you are looking for on the web without having to go to the site.

③ Anyone can trade online
You can post easily from the 3D Lumber Market website or iOS app, just like posting on social media. If you want to buy, you can create a free account and easily contact the seller in the comments section.

Background of the birth of the “3D Lumber Market”

Japan’s forests are rich in unused wood that is not distributed in general. Among them are the “treasures” of large diameter trees that can be used as solid boards and pillars. Regular wood markets are only accessible to those involved, and there are limited opportunities to obtain non-standard wood such as solid boards of hardwood.

The 3D Lumber Market promotes the use of non-standard wood as a place where wood can be traded online. In addition, forestry businesses and individual forest owners can directly list and purchase products individually, so it plays a role in connecting “consumers” and “forests”.
