Technology & Products
Key Products
Circular Timber Greenhouse; metal 3D-printed joints for timber offcuts; recycled wood material development; design-build services.
Technological Advantage
XENCE combines computational design, robotic processing, modular design, and construction execution to use non-standard forest resources in building systems.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
XENCE enables irregular and underused wood to be incorporated into construction through automated design, digital fabrication, and design-for-disassembly modules.
How They Differentiate
Unlike concrete-focused construction-printing companies, XENCE uses metal AM for custom connectors that enable irregular or reclaimed timber structures rather than for bulk structural printing.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Agricultural operators, property owners, architects, and construction clients seeking circular timber structures and design-build services.
Industry Verticals
Construction; agriculture; architecture; forestry.
Competitors
Serendix; Polyuse; V3D Asia.
