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.
