CLT is Great! CLV is better
CLV is a construction process feasible only via our SAM process. CLV is speedier, stronger, more precise and more flexible option to CLT
CLT Facts
Wood has a disadvantage of weight-strength ratio compared to steel and reinforced concrete. Compressed wood is even heavier. The taller the building, the heavier the components of CLT systems
Areas of major waste are raw-material and energy. Both happen at planking stage and when preparing components. CLT design needs highly specialized structural engineering, which reduces wider application
Framing: relative inefficiency
Framed construction has limitations requiring manual assembly. It is low-precision and beset with human error. It demands several steps for raw-material preparation, logistics and assembly, making it inefficient and wasteful
This is not an old method. This is an ancient method – like using pigeons to deliver messages instead of email. It is well past the time to innovate out of this method. CLV is the easily adaptable replacement
CLV
In several ways CLT substitutes behavior of structural concrete or steel without taking [complete] advantage of the properties of wood. It takes several months to plan a multi-story building with CLT
CLV multi-story framing is based off SAM processes. Pre-built additive and micro-laminated frames (not to be confused with “prefab” ) would be a auto-made by SAM machines, directly from engineering CAD as the input. Near-instant production would reduce time of construction by several months
Innovation + scale + speeds + minimizing material waste makes for an elegant solution for the construction industry. Using SAM and the 4 AXYZ Platform, makes CLV highly scalable and replicable
