econitWood introduces a material innovation that repurposes wood residues from sawmills and timber harvesting for applications in interior architecture. This material system prioritises ecological responsibility, regional sourcing, and fire safety while integrating seamlessly with contemporary and digital design methodologies.

Utilising 3D printing technology, econitWood transforms wood waste into precisely defined geometric forms. This process marks a significant advancement in sustainable design by preserving the wood’s natural CO₂ absorption capacity while expanding its functional and aesthetic potential.

A defining feature of econitWood technology is its zero-waste approach. Unlike conventional manufacturing, which often results in substantial material loss, this method ensures that every particle of raw material is utilised efficiently, eliminating waste generation.

econitWood components are produced on a made-to-order basis, reducing excess inventory and minimising the environmental impact associated with mass production. This process combines precision with design flexibility, enabling the creation of intricate forms that would be challenging to achieve through traditional woodworking techniques.

econitWood components are compatible with most wood surface finishing techniques, offering versatility to accommodate a range of aesthetic and durability requirements.

  • Sanding, Grinding, and Cutting: Fundamental wood processing techniques such as sanding, grinding, and cutting can be fully applied to econitWood. These processes refine the surface, shape components, and prepare them for further treatments or integration into larger structures.
  • Colouring: A variety of colouring techniques can be applied, including staining, painting, and lacquering.
