High‑Performance Bio‑Composite Platform for Sustainable Construction & Mobility

Technology based on engineered wood composites that leverages computational design, structural optimization and robotic fabrication to produce free‑form, high‑performance structural and architectural elements.

Components use wood strands instead of solid timber, optimizing fiber orientation and material distribution so that each part is stress‑tailored: minimal material is used where not needed, and reinforcement is placed precisely where loads demand. This results in components that combine extremely favorable strength‑to‑weight ratios with sustainable, resource‑efficient manufacturing.

Applications from construction (lightweight slabs, structural panels, cladding, architectural elements) to mobility (vehicle body and interior parts), offering a viable path to decarbonize both the built environment and transportation.

Key features and value proposition:

• Biomimetic structural optimization: draws inspiration from trees — orienting wood fibers according to stress paths and nature‑inspired structural logic — to maximize strength while minimizing material usage.

• Ultra‑lightweight, high‑performance bio‑composites: Components produced can achieve strength comparable to concrete or steel at a fraction of their weight — for example, a 34.8 kg slab prototype can support 630 kg with minimal deflection.

• Material and resource efficiency — reduced wood and waste: By using wood strands and targeted reinforcement, reduces the timber required versus conventional mass‑timber or solid wood solutions; manufacturing is digitally controlled and automated, minimizing waste.

• Design and geometric flexibility: Because fabrication is digitally controlled and free‑form, supports complex shapes, customized geometries and multifunctional components — enabling architectural innovation, lightweight structural elements, or bespoke mobility components.

• Sustainability & decarbonization potential: By replacing conventional high‑carbon materials (concrete, steel, aluminum), helps reduce embodied carbon, supports circular/material‑efficient practices, and offers a path toward greener buildings and vehicles.

Why to partner:

• Enables harnessing a cutting‑edge material technology capable of delivering high structural performance with low weight and environmental footprint.

• Offers a scalable path to integrating sustainable, timber‑based materials into construction, architecture, mobility or furniture — ideal for firms committed to circularity, low‑carbon footprint and resource efficiency.

• Provides flexibility in design and application — from structural slabs and building panels to custom architectural elements or vehicle components.

• Supported by recent investment, growing manufacturing capacity and a committed team — reducing risk and opening opportunities for early‑mover collaborations.

• Contributes to climate goals and carbon‑reduction strategies: replacing conventional materials with bio‑composites aligns with sustainable building and mobility trends.
