Huub Looze – Biocircularprinting for sustainable construction

Designer and 3D printing freak Huub Looze makes everything 3D-printable. Seemingly worthless raw materials can be used in a high-quality manner with a self-developed printing technique. He is co-founder of Omlab, the (material) design studio that innovates for construction that does not exclude (soil) biodiversity. Omlab designs low-emission material mixtures and nature-friendly applications for a sector that needs to be radically transformed. Omlab is currently working on robotic upscaling of the biodegradable printing technology. Based on the vision ‘Replace concrete with less strong material where possible; and immediately make it positive for nature’. To develop this, the studio won a testing ground from Heembouw.
