The sustainable use of forest resources in the Amazon is one of the precautions attributed to Conservation Units of sustainable use, and among them, the RESEX Auati-Paraná stands out in this study. In this area, a large volume of naturally fallen trees of various species belonging to different diametric classes were inventoried, with a higher incidence of trees with small diameter. Therefore, it is important to highlight the potential use of this raw material for development high value-added products as a sustainable income generation opportunity for community members. Thus, the objective of this research was to assess the quality of naturally fallen species through the development of products with a fine finish through technical design projects. For this, was used, defining the types of products and species (Micrandropsis scleroxylon and Simarouba amara) for the study, characterizing them, surveying the cultural aspects of the RESEX, manufacture of physical products prototypes and analyzing the quality of the wood workability during machining processes. The results obtained through the design projects, demonstrated the quality and feasibility of using wood from naturally fallen trees for the manufacture of products, being able to be explored as a sustainable alternative to generate economic benefits to the community through the valorization of such natural resources of the Amazon rainforest.

The Amazon rainforest presents a diversity of species that can be explored and disseminated through Surface Design in conjunction with the area of wood anatomy. Therefore, this study aimed to generate visual patterns from the use of macroscopic images generated through the analysis of tangential, radial and transversal sections of an Amazonian species. Thus, samples of Amazonian species were collected at the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA), which were scientifically identified and one of them was selected to obtain macroscopic images of the wood and visual analysis of the anatomical elements and development of visual patterns. the species Pithecellobium racemosum (Angelim Rajado) was selected. Through the results obtained, it was concluded that scientific knowledge about the anatomy of wood can be used as a creative source in Surface Design in order to disseminate and value the Amazonian Forest diversity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
