Compuwood: The Innovative Wood Bending Technology Changing Modern PC Case Design

Wood has always been one of the most versatile and beautiful materials in the world. But shaping it and bending it into complex curves has traditionally been a slow, labour-intensive, and limiting process.

That’s where Compuwood comes in.

Compuwood is working on bringing full wooden PC cases to the masses. While this is not a new concept per se, we have never really seen many manufacturers try to take on fully wooden PC cases. As for materials of production, they will be using different types of wood, from pine (on the standard), to oak, mahogany, and walnut on the 33 and 333 models.

There are currently 3 models in the Series 3 lineup, and they are the 3, 33, and 333. The naming is nothing fancy, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it changes in the future, but for now, it lets us differentiate between the different case models.

They are still very much in the prototype stage, but things are looking promising. As you can see from the images below, they are incorporating different ways to make sure that there is plenty of airflow in the cases.

Display Screen

The 333 case will come with a curved 2K OLED touch display, offering further customization for your PC. Currently, we do not know the remaining specs, but if done properly, this will be an exciting upgrade to an already unique PC case. Screens are all the current rage, so this addition is only going to make the case even more eye-catching when seen in person.

Pre-Prototype

This is a short look that offers a look at what we can expect from the upcoming Compuwood products.

Temperature Test

While this isn’t a proper test, it does give a little insight into the temperatures of the components in the case. Over time, we will follow up with Compuwood and continue to monitor their progress, and we will ask for more standardized testing across its range of cases.

The Big Questions

If you’ve made it to this point, you are likely wondering how this wood is going to hold up over time. Will it start to decay from prolonged use? Will it swell up or warp in any way from being heated and cooled multiple times? At this point, it is hard to say, but it will be interesting to see how it all works out. While we hope for the best, there may be a reason why no one has ever really made a fully wooden PC case.

For now, we have more questions than answers, but we will definitely be following Compuwood closely to see how things unfold. Make sure to check back with us to stay updated.

Let us know what you think. Would you buy or use a full wooden PC case for your PC?
