Technology & Products

Key Products

3D-printed homes (O House, Serendix5 housing kits, Sphere prototype), 3D printing technology for construction.

Technological Advantage

Utilizes a 'Consortium' business model with 280+ partner companies to share R&D and supply chain risks, alongside a proprietary digital construction data platform that allows houses to be 'printed' at various global or domestic sites using local 3D printers.

Differentiation

Value Proposition
