Yep! there's a procedural texture called "Wireframe texture" or something like that.

[mojo]

but this works only for volumes, not for lines, does it ?

I think if you make it a hair...

[seghier]

you can if you use the sameWireframe texture as alpha
in other render engine you can quickly render wireframe ; i don't know why maxwell miss some optionts like : wireframe , matte shadow ; transparent backgroud

I think it depends on the modeling program you are using. For instance, in Max you can set splines to renderable and give them a thickness.
