At Omlab, we believe in 2 things. First, most of the material we need is already in circulation. Second, construction and (soil)biodiversity need to enhance each other. 

So, Omlab designs and makes with 100 percent respect for nature and future. All resources are circular and/or biobased. No minerals, no fossil resources.

Omlab is a studio for circular and biobased material research and design (R&D). We initiate, are part of co-development projects or kickstart other companies’ circular trajectory. Omlab works from a workshop in Arnhem. So mission and method co-insides: Make (!) the difference.

Requirement: smart design

Our focus on 3D-printing stems from this aim. Waste based materials require smart design. With 3D-printing you can reduce material use, add strength through design and add functionality like ventilation or plumbing shafts. We developed a material prototype with the strength of cellular concrete [C8]. Together with Bruil Prefab Printing, we developed a material prototype twice as strong and printable with industrial robots.

Let’s make 3d constructive printing (#3dcp) circular and more sustainable.
