TKM 3D SCIP™ Reimagining How Australia Builds

A patented Australian innovation combining strength, speed, and sustainability, engineered to meet the housing demands of the future.

How It Works

TKM 3D SCIP™ panels are a lightweight, load-bearing wall system that merges insulation, strength, and simplicity. Each panel combines an EPS insulation core, galvanized steel mesh, and internal truss wires, finished with a durable shotcrete skin, forming a single integrated structure that’s strong, thermally efficient, and quick to install.

Componets of TKM Eco Panels™ and their key benefits
Component
Description
Key Benefit
EPS Insulation Core
Expanded polystyrene panel, 50 mm–100 mm thick, fire-retardant.
High thermal efficiency and energy savings.
Galvanized Mesh Frame
Welded wire mesh 
Provides tensile strength and rigidity.
Truss Wires
Internal galvanized truss wire joining both mesh faces.
Creates a unified structural lattice, eliminating cold joints.
Shotcrete Skin
Concrete coating applied on-site via shotcrete pump.
Delivers a strong, seamless, fire-resistant finish.

The result is a monolithic wall system that can be prefabricated, transported, and assembled rapidly, cutting build time and cost without compromising strength or performance.

Why It Outperforms Traditional Methods

By integrating insulation, structure, and finish into one engineered panel, TKM 3D SCIP™ panels outperform conventional methods on speed, cost, and sustainability.

++ Green Building Council Australia sustainability standards

TKM 3D SCIP™ panels merge the strength of concrete, the insulation of SIPs, and the speed of prefab, all at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact.

Used Globally. Now Engineered for Australia

Panel-based construction systems like the TKM 3D SCIP™ panels have already proven their success in Europe, Asia, UAE and South America where they’ve been used for everything from multi-storey apartments to hurricane and cyclone-resilient homes.

Yet Australia has been slow to adopt this fast, low-emission, high-performance technology. Eco Tech Innovations® is changing that, having proudly developed an Australian Owned, locally patented system tailored to meet Australian 2026 national building standards and climate conditions.

Scaling Innovation Through Local Manufacturing

Eco Tech Innovations® is moving from research and testing into large-scale feasibility and automation.

We’re now conducting a feasibility study to assess the cost and design of an automated manufacturing machine capable of producing TKM 3D SCIP™ panels at scale.

This step will pave the way for two key growth models:

Licensing & Local Factories

Entrepreneurs and regional developers can purchase a production machine, license the technology, and establish new Eco Tech manufacturing hubs across Australia.

Partnerships with Builders & Developers

Construction companies can integrate Eco Tech Innovation's® production into their operations, building faster, greener, and more cost-effectively than traditional methods.

With the right investment, we can accelerate automation, expand local jobs, and make TKM 3D SCIP™ the new standard for residential, social, and commercial construction across Australia.

Collaboration that Builds Confidence

Strength through partnership, bringing together engineering excellence, research integrity, and sustainable innovation.

Our work is strengthened by collaboration across engineering, innovation, and industry sectors. Together, we’re advancing construction technology that aligns with the Green Building Council of Australia’s sustainability standards and supports Australia’s housing and climate goals.

Invest in the future of Australian Building

Eco Tech Innovations® is ready to take the next step, developing Australia’s first automated manufacturing system for TKM 3D SCIP™

With the feasibility study underway, we’re inviting strategic investors, partners, and government collaborators to help fast-track large-scale, sustainable panel manufacturing across Australia.

 

Your investment will accelerate:

  • The design and prototype of an automated production machine

  • Fabrication of panels to initiate pilot builds
  • Establishment of licensed regional manufacturing hubs

  • Integration with builders and developers adopting the system

Together, we can make TKM 3D SCIP™ Australia’s standard for fast, affordable, and sustainable construction, creating homes and jobs for the future.
