Spacewasp Implements Automated Interior Parts Manufacturing Process

Spacewasp Inc. (Headquarters: Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, Representative Director: Hayato Isezaki, hereinafter "Spacewasp") is pleased to announce the completion of the technical implementation of its "Automated Interior Manufacturing Process." This process seamlessly integrates AI-driven generation of interior design images, 3D data creation, automatic segmentation and editing, and automated manufacturing of interior parts using machinery such as 3D printers.

This technology enables the automatic conversion of interior design images into 3D data for major visible interior components, including walls, floors, ceilings, custom fixtures, furniture, and decorations. Simultaneously, these components are automatically segmented into manufacturable units and edited into data suitable for construction, before being automatically manufactured as interior parts by machinery like 3D printers.

Furthermore, with a new construction method currently being implemented, the manufactured interior parts can be easily attached to existing interior walls. By establishing a construction system that does not overly rely on specialized contractors, we aim to contribute to faster store openings for commercial and franchise businesses, standardization of construction quality, and reduction of construction periods.

Background of Development: The Disconnect Between "Design, Manufacturing, and Construction" in the Interior Industry

Opening commercial and franchise stores requires rapid expansion across multiple locations while maintaining brand image.

However, traditional interior processes have been fragmented, with separate stages for design, drafting, component manufacturing, and on-site construction, each requiring specialized personnel and significant coordination time.

In particular, the interior industry faces major challenges such as a shortage of skilled craftspeople, quality variations between sites, prolonged construction periods, and the burden of responding to design changes.

Spacewasp aims to transform interior spaces from being "built from scratch on-site" to "automatically manufactured from data and installed on-site" by combining plant-derived materials, large-scale 3D printing, and AI design technology.

This initiative also involves building a "foundation connecting AI and real-world manufacturing processes" for future physical AI implementation, by converting AI-generated designs into 3D data, automatically segmenting them into manufacturable parts, and connecting this to automated manufacturing via machinery like 3D printers. Furthermore, we aim to contribute to reducing the life cycle CO2 emissions and waste associated with interiors by utilizing plant-derived materials, automated manufacturing based on required quantities, and establishing regional production systems in the future.

Automated Interior Manufacturing Process Implemented This Time

Image of the implemented interior

The process implemented by Spacewasp this time consists of the following four automated stages. Given suitable spatial, material, and manufacturing conditions, it is technically feasible to complete the manufacturing of all major interior components, including walls, floors, ceilings, custom fixtures, furniture, and decorations, from interior design image generation to completion in approximately one day.

1. AI-Generated Interior Design Images

Interior design images are generated by AI based on conditions such as store concept, brand image, spatial usage, and target customers.

2. Automatic 3D Data Generation from Images

Based on the generated interior design images, visible interior parts such as walls, floors, ceilings, custom fixtures, furniture, and decorations are automatically converted into 3D data. This data is transformed into three-dimensional information that can be output by manufacturing machinery, going beyond mere conceptual images.

3. Automatic Segmentation and Editing into Manufacturable and Installable Interior Parts

The 3D interior data is automatically segmented into sizes, shapes, and part units that can be output by manufacturing machines. Simultaneously, it is automatically edited into data that is suitable for installation, considering attachment methods and construction units.

4. Automated Manufacturing of Interior Parts via 3D Printers, etc.

Each segmented and edited part data is connected to manufacturing machinery such as large-scale 3D printers and panel manufacturing machines, and automatically manufactured as interior parts using plant-derived materials.

Toward Interior Construction Less Reliant on Specialized Contractors Through New Construction Methods

Spacewasp has developed and is currently implementing a new construction method for easily attaching manufactured interior parts to existing interior walls.

Traditional interior construction requires specialized skills for on-site processing, marking, adjustments, and installation. Spacewasp's new method aims for a construction system where even non-skilled workers can easily participate in the installation process by creating a configuration where pre-manufactured interior parts can be simply attached to existing interior walls.

We will continue to verify and implement this as a new construction model that addresses the chronic shortage of craftspeople, standardizes construction quality, and shortens construction periods.

Intended Application Areas: Accelerating Store Rollouts

This technology is envisioned for collaboration with businesses such as:

Businesses expanding franchise stores to multiple locations

Commercial store operators seeking to increase the number of openings in a short period

Companies wishing to replicate high-brand-value interiors across multiple stores

Companies facing challenges with interior construction labor shortages, extended construction times, and quality variations

Businesses considering next-generation store development utilizing AI and 3D printing

Businesses considering regional decentralized manufacturing systems and the use of circular materials

By combining AI-driven design generation, 3D data conversion, automatic segmentation, parts manufacturing using 3D printers, and simple installation, Spacewasp aims to build a system that shortens the store opening process for commercial establishments and allows for faster, more stable, and highly reproducible deployment of brand spaces.

Toward an "Automated Interior Manufacturing Factory" and a Decentralized Regional Network

Spacewasp's vision of an "Automated Interior Manufacturing Factory" is a system that automatically creates interiors from various plants.

Through this automated factory, we want to shift interior construction from being something "built from scratch on-site" to something "manufactured from data and installed on-site."

In the future, we aim to build a decentralized regional interior manufacturing network that utilizes unused resources such as plant waste in each region as raw materials, and produces the necessary interiors in local manufacturing bases.

Moving forward, we will proceed with verification for target spaces, materials, and construction conditions, and expand the scope of application to actual projects.

We will also advance collaborations with domestic and international manufacturing and construction partners, and work towards establishing a system where automated manufacturing can be carried out at manufacturing bases in each region, primarily for businesses expanding their store networks.

Commencing Final Closing of Seed Round

Spacewasp has completed the first closing of its ongoing seed round and has begun soliciting for the final closing.

This funding will be used for further research and development of the automated interior manufacturing process, strengthening of manufacturing capabilities, demonstration deployments with commercial and franchise businesses, development of plant-derived materials, and expansion of our business development structure.

We will continue to strengthen collaborations with businesses involved in store expansion and pursue further business growth.
