Wood is an easily workable, relatively inexpensive, and, importantly, renewable resource. We'll be seeing more of 3D printing for sure, but you're kidding yourself if you think it'll replace carpentry.

I wasn't suggesting that 3d printing will replace carpentry...

I want a 3d printer / wood router hybrid. All I've managed to do so far is a 3d printer / laser cutter hybrid, but it takes forever for it to cut wood.

Also, wood is beautiful.
