Would be nice if we could invent a way to produce and 3D print cork in factories.

Like artificial “meats” there’s going to be a lot of artificial things in “printing” “cork” plain old plastics might be better.

I don’t know about printing but there’s various methods for liquifying and expanding cork. E.g. spray cork insulation and moldable cork ski boot liners.
