Engineering the Future of Timber

Innovation at Pacific Forest is not a single invention—it is a system that integrates material science, engineering, digital design, and advanced manufacturing to create a new generation of wood.

THE CHALLENGE WE SOLVED

Beyond the Limits of Natural Timber

Natural wood is beautiful—but unpredictable. Variations in density, strength, moisture, durability, and fire performance limit its use in modern construction and architectural design.

At the same time, reliance on tropical hardwood has become environmentally unsustainable.

Pacific Forest set out to solve both challenges.

THE BREAKTHROUGH — HRT

Homogeneous Reconstituted Timber (HRT)

Through years of research, experimentation, and proof-of-concept development, Pacific Forest invented Homogeneous Reconstituted Timber (HRT)—a proprietary engineered wood material made by upcycling fibres from fast-growing plantation trees. This invention forms the foundation of ONEWOOD®.

Homogeneous Property

Termite-Resistant

Sustainable

Flow Flame Spread

Dimensionally Stable

Water-Resistant

Strong Structure & Durability

Eco-Friendly & Reusable

Easily Processed

Perfect for Coating

MATERIAL SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Designed at Fibre Level

Unlike conventional engineered wood, HRT is developed by controlling the material at fibre level. This enables us to eliminate natural wood defects and engineer performance characteristics into the material itself.

Our technical team continuously refines:

  • Fibre composition and alignment

  • Density and structural behaviour

  • Durability, fire, and biological resistance

The result is a material that behaves as designed, not by chance.

Innovation at Pacific Forest is powered by advanced software and digital workflows. Complex geometries, curved structures, and bespoke connections are digitally modelled, simulated, and optimised before fabrication begins.

DIGITAL DESIGN & ADVANCED SOFTWARE

From Digital Model to Physical Form

This allows:

  • Extreme curves and arches

  • Complex jointing and connections

  • Accurate translation of design intent

  • Reduced waste and higher precision

ROBOTIC & CNC MANUFACTURING

Precision at Industrial Scale

We pioneer the use of robotic arms and CNC technology as carpenters, transforming digital designs into physical components with millimetre accuracy.

Robotic fabrication enables:

  • Consistent quality across production

  • Repeatability at scale

  • Complex geometries impossible with manual methods

  • Integration of design, engineering, and manufacturing

PROPRIETARY SYSTEM & IP

More Than a Product — A Platform

This innovation platform allows Pacific Forest to:

  • Continuously develop new materials

  • Create bespoke engineered solutions

  • Expand applications across industries

HRT and ONEWOOD® are protected by proprietary processes, technical know-how, and intellectual property developed over years of investment and experimentation.
