well as with WEINMANN and

able to provide Space Factory
with a really tailored custom
solution which is now part of

Why ArchiFrame?
Space Factory chose
ArchiFrame because of
its robust integration with
Archicad, its ability to handle
complex timber structures, and
its user-friendly interface.
Kwon continues: “The support
from the ArchiFrame team has
been excellent, providing timely
updates and assistance to help
us maximise the software’s
capabilities."
On-site visits and training
have also been arranged to help
embed ArchiFrame into Space
Factory processes and make
the most of the technology.
Seamless integration
Using ArchiFrame's software
enables Space Factory to take
architectural models directly
from Archicad, ensuring a
smooth and streamlined
work昀氀ow, while WES software
combined with high-powered
WEINMANN machines ensures
a smooth production process.
Speci昀椀cally, ArchiFrame
has played a crucial role in
streamlining Space Factory’s
design work昀氀ow. By enabling
precise BIM modelling
and direct integration with
manufacturing processes,
ArchiFrame reduces errors,
optimises material usage, and
signi昀椀cantly shortens project
timelines.
The ability to directly link
design models with production
equipment ensures a smooth
transition from concept to
completion, helping Space
Factory deliver high-quality
projects faster and more coste昀昀ectively.
ArchiFrame's features allow
Space Factory to enhance
e昀케ciency, reduce waste,
and maintain high precision
throughout the design and
manufacturing process. These
include:
• Seamless integration with
Archicad for BIM modelling
• Automated generation of
material lists and cutting
plans
• Direct compatibility with CNC
machinery
• Real-time visualisation and
structural analysis tools.
The construction industry
faces persistent challenges

long build times and material
ine昀케ciencies. By embracing
prefabrication, Space Factory
aims to tackle these issues,
delivering faster, more coste昀昀ective, and sustainable
housing solutions. The company
also prioritises design 昀氀exibility
while maintaining high
structural integrity and energy
e昀케ciency.
As demand for eco-friendly
housing grows, Space
Factory is integrating smart
home technologies, passive
house design, and advanced
prefabrication techniques.
"There is increasing interest in
prefabricated timber housing
as a sustainable alternative to
traditional construction. We are
committed to staying ahead of
these trends by continuously
adopting new technologies and
re昀椀ning our processes."
Collaboration has been central
to this project. ArchiFrame
CEO Petteri Heiskari, granIT
CEO Wolfgang and personnel
from Weinmann Germany
and Homag Korea have
all worked on-site in Korea
alongside Space Factory
engineers, ensuring the
seamless integration of their
technologies.
