About X-Hab 3D Inc.

X-Hab 3D has developed a transformative solution that reimagines construction from the ground up. Our mobile, semi-autonomous, self-powered 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) system integrates hardware, software, and advanced materials to automate the construction process.

Our 3DCP system reduces build times, labor, material costs, and waste by more than 40%, while drastically lowering job-site injuries. The structures it produces—homes, buildings, infrastructure, etc.—are more energy efficient, durable, and resistant to natural disasters, pests, and weathering, needing less maintenance than conventional structures. X-Hab 3D’s technology goes beyond just 3DCP. Our mobile robotic platform, with its programmable robotic arm, can perform a wide range of other construction-related tasks such as gripping, drilling, welding, painting, spraying, scanning, sensing, sorting, etc., all while operating semi-autonomously, in collaboration with other robots, in difficult environments. This system provides a holistic, versatile approach to transforming the entire construction process.

At the heart of X-Hab 3D’s vision is a commitment to solving the most difficult construction challenges imaginable: those posed by the US military. Military construction in remote and austere environments is plagued by logistical hurdles, from the complexity of transporting personnel and materiel to the difficulty of executing projects in high-risk zones. These challenges are exacerbated by the labor-intensive nature of conventional construction and the reliance on importing materials, which strains military supply lines and creates delays. Our mobile, semi-autonomous robotic 3DCP system addresses these challenges by drastically reducing the need for manual labor and by minimizing material transport requirements. By maximizing the use of locally sourced materials for construction, our system significantly lowers the need to import resources, providing a faster, more sustainable solution for military construction projects.

What makes our approach unique is that we don’t just offer a machine, we provide an integrated system that combines cutting-edge hardware, software, and advanced materials science. Our multidisciplinary team of experts in systems engineering, structural engineering, computational design, materials science, and mechatronics collaborates to ensure that our platform not only meets, but exceeds, military-grade specifications. This relentless innovation results in a solution that not only performs in the most demanding military environments but also offers unmatched efficiency and capability in the commercial market.

The global market for 3DCP is projected to exceed $150 billion by 2031, with $30 billion of that in the US. This technology has the potential to revolutionize key areas such as housing, infrastructure development, disaster recovery, and military construction. X-Hab 3D is positioned to capture a significant share of this market by offering a system that addresses both the most extreme demands of military construction and the broader needs of the commercial sector.

X-Hab 3D is targeting over 20,000 US-based construction firms with annual revenues of $5 to $10M or more, along with their international counterparts, US government agencies (both civil and military), and state and local governments. Achieving sales of just 375 3DCP units by 2029 will allow us to meet our base case revenue projections. Looking beyond this initial target, we believe a disciplined approach—grounded in ongoing innovation, strategic positioning, outsourcing our manufacturing and an integrated, multi-sector marketing plan—will allow us to significantly expand our reach and production capability. With this approach, we are confident that sales can grow by 5× to 10× by 2032.

Our business model is to design, engineer, manufacture, sell, and lease 3DCP systems to construction firms. We are not a homebuilder, but a provider of cutting-edge systems that automate and enhance the construction process. To date, we have sold beta versions of our 3DCP system to the US military, a major non-profit, and a top-tier US university. Our sales pipeline is growing, with over 20 prospective customers currently in discussions for system purchases in 2024 and 2025.

Our strength lies in the exceptional expertise of our team. Our leadership includes pioneers in the field of 3DCP and materials science. Three of our co-founders established the Additive Construction Lab at Penn State, taking the University to the finals of NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, outperforming 70+ institutions globally. Our team’s expertise spans architecture, engineering (systems, structural and mechanical), materials science, robotics, and business. With 6 full-time and 7 part-time employees today, we plan to expand to 30 full time employees by EOY 2025 as we scale operations.

We hold an exclusive license from Penn State for advanced concrete composite materials patents and have our own patents pending on key elements of our mobile 3DCP system, and other technologies under development. This intellectual property forms the backbone of our competitive advantage in the market, allowing us to lead in material innovation and construction technology.

X-Hab 3D’s system is designed to thrive in environments that lack basic infrastructure, a critical differentiator in the global market. Our technology meets the rigorous performance and reliability standards set by the US military, which are far more demanding than typical commercial requirements. This approach not only drives innovation but also positions us to deliver superior products for both military and commercial customers. Our ongoing efforts to achieve full DFARS compliance further solidify our position as a leader in US military procurement, creating significant barriers to entry.

With a $4M capital raise, X-Hab 3D expects to become cash flow positive by 2026, with projected gross revenues of $73 million and a net margin of 37% by 2029. At that point, we estimate an exit valuation exceeding $200 million, based on a 7.5× EBITDA multiple. This would deliver a 10.3× return on investment (ROI) for investors in the $4M round. The valuation is supported by comparable acquisitions in the sector, where EBITDA multiples have ranged from 8× to 37×, driven by strong demand for dual-use technologies from industry leaders such as Caterpillar, Hitachi, Trimble, and Raytheon.

However, this is just the foundation of our growth trajectory. With our aggressive customer acquisition strategy that includes a leasing model, distribution, international expansion, complementary products and the potential to scale production and sales our long-term outlook is even more compelling.

In summary, X-Hab 3D is not just another construction technology company—we are driving a fundamental shift in how buildings and infrastructure are created, delivering a system that meets the toughest demands while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the construction industry. Through our integrated, transformative approach, we are poised to lead the market in 3D concrete printing and beyond.
