It really is cool, but what I don't understand is why do we need all this techno-babble-esque wording around the idea of "3D printed wood", just call it that.

I see way too many simple but cool concepts bogged down by an epic written collectively by the marketing dept. muddying the true concept of things.

    We re-use wood-waste to 3D print objects.

So simple, to the point and just as cool.

Because people who don’t know anything are moved by technobabble and underwhelmed by reality.

I would honestly hazard a guess that there's no marketing person on the team yet. If the founder is in charge of the content of the site, which could very well be the case, they are more likely to use technical terms because it's natural to them. Plus, it's the more boujee option.

Investors, plain and simple. Many investors don’t know tech, or have a limited knowledge about it, so pitching things in terms and phrases that impress them works.

Really? I’d have thought investors were busy people, asking questions like “so what does it actually do”? Like, for example, my management rarely cares about the brilliance of my code. They want to know what it accomplishes —- before they’re off to a different meeting.
