We are not just imagining the future — we’re building it. Redesigning Earth is an open-source movement of radical innovators: designers, makers, and visionary investors. Together, we’re rewriting the rules of construction and manufacturing by 3D-printing nature’s most powerful building block.
Powered by an infinite natural resource and driven by fully automated, precision 3D-printing, we’re unlocking limitless potential to create thriving, self-sustaining communities across the globe. Picture resilient healthy neighborhoods, abundant with locally grown fresh food, clean water and homes built from the ground up — right where you live.
No more dependence on fragile supply chains or centralized systems.
We’re tackling the world’s most urgent challenges—housing shortages, climate disruption, ecological collapse, global trade tensions—with one powerful, scalable solution.
Join us and help build a future where every human can thrive beyond imagination.

3D PRINTING THE ULTIMATE BUILDING BLOCK OF NATURE

Nature has already mastered material science. Chitin, found in crustaceans, insects, and fungi, is an incredible material—stronger than steel, naturally waterproof, transparent, and radiant in any color.
We’ve unlocked the secret to 3D printing with chitin, enabling the creation of complete, functional structures—from windows and walls to integrated piping and facades—all in a single print.
This is the dawn of a new era. Soon, we’ll shift from centralized factories to a global web of localized 3D printing hubs—each one capable of producing anything, anywhere. Get ready to print the future!

SHARING IDEAS

To fuel this global leap, we need open innovation at full throttle. That’s why we’ve launched IDEACOINS—a game-changing system where ideas become assets.
When you contribute a validated original idea, you receive a digital wallet of IDEACOINS—linked directly to the value your idea brings to the 3D-printing process. Your innovation, your rewards—automatically, transparently, and globally.
Investors can join the movement by purchasing IDEACOINS at €1,000 each, backing the next wave of prototypes and disruptive inventions. When these ideas go to market, revenue flows directly to IDEACOIN holders. A single coin could earn you up to €1,000,000—every year.
We’ve redefined intellectual property. Now it’s time to redefine your impact. Contribute, invest, and shape the future with us!

ARCHITECTURE OF NATURE

There’s only one system that’s truly regenerative and circular: living nature. And at its core are two of Earth’s most abundant, powerful materials—cellulose and chitin.
Chitin is the upgraded version of cellulose—waterproof, mold-resistant, strong and flexible. Found in crustacean shells and butterfly wings.
By mastering nature’s architecture, we’re not just mimicking biology—we’re advancing it.

STRENGTH & FLEXIBILITY

Look no further than a crab’s shell to witness nature’s engineering genius. Chitin’s molecular structure, when properly bonded, rivals and exceeds steel’s strength—while remaining astonishingly light and flexible.
Through high-pressure molding and advanced hydrogen bonding, we’re harnessing these properties at industrial scale. It’s even strong enough to mold entire car bodies.

OPEN CORE MATRIX

Inspired by the natural geometry of the glass sponge, our open core matrix design is the secret to ultra-lightweight yet incredibly strong structures.
This matrix offers world-class insulation for sound and temperature—cutting energy use dramatically—while slashing material needs by up to 80%. Imagine building five times more with the same amount of material!

STRUCTURAL COLORS

Nature paints with light. The vibrant hues of beetles and birds aren’t from pigments—they’re from microscopic surface patterns.
We can now laser-etch structural colors directly into chitin surfaces—no paint, no chemicals, no waste. From deep mattes to dazzling iridescence, we can design with color as a structural element.
Color becomes a part of the material itself. This is design that never fades.

LOCAL RESOURCE

Chitin is closer than you think. In fact, it’s already in your kitchen bin.
Fungi can transform any organic waste into high-purity chitin—up to 40% content. This process requires no sunlight and can run in underground urban facilities, turning cities into decentralized biomanufacturing hubs.
From food waste to future-proof homes — turning trash into treasure.

3D PRINTING

We’re not waiting for the future – the technology is already here.
Current large-scale gantry-based 3D printers, used for plastics and concrete, can be adapted to print chitin structures. The key challenge is perfecting the process to activate the powerful hydrogen bonds that make chitin nature’s supermaterial.
We’re pioneering a new method of high-pressure extrusion — one that unlocks the true potential of chitin.
3D printing process: food waste and demolished buildings are transformed by fungi into chitin, the raw material for 3D printing,

HIGH PRESSURE

Our breakthrough lies in high-pressure extrusion, aligning chitin strands at a molecular level. This process—combined with moderate heat—temporarily decreases viscosity and at the same time activates the super-strong hydrogen bonds. After extrusion the material hardens into
dense, cohesive structures with exceptional strength and detail.
The glue-like properties of chitin ensure each printed layer fuses perfectly, making monolithic, seamless designs possible. It’s time to build like nature does: one layer at a time, maximizing the molecular bonds with perfection.

A NEW WAY OF 3D PRINTING

A fine-tuned print head and millimeter-level control enable precision printing with extreme versatility. Structural floors, glossy facades, transparent windows, integrated pipework, and insulation — all printed in one seamless process. Consumer goods, vehicle bodies, entire neighborhoods—tailored and on-demand.
This isn’t just automation. It’s personalization at planetary scale.

IDEACOINS

We need a new creative economy — one that fuels ideas, not just products.
IDEACOINS are the currency of innovation in our ecosystem. They empower creators, attract visionary investors, and bypass the old gatekeepers. Every original idea is paired with a wallet of IDEACOINS, backed by potential future profits and secured through blockchain technology.
Forget patents. Forget bureaucracy. Just create — and get rewarded
Creative ecosystem: after validation an original idea is published and receives a wallet of IDEACOINS; when used commercially a fixed percentage is paid to each IDEACOIN automatically.

BUY-IN: I€1 = €1.000

Any designer can submit an original idea — whether it’s a material upgrade, product innovation, or urban design concept. Once approved, a wallet of IDEACOINS is minted, tied to the idea’s potential impact.
IDEACOINS are initially priced at €1000. This provides the funding needed to prototype and scale. The earlier you invest, the greater the potential return. This is how the future is funded: transparently, creatively, collaboratively.

PAY-OUT: I€1 = UP TO €1.000.000

Once a design goes into production, the blockchain activates automatic payouts to all associated IDEACOIN holders. Revenues flow directly to your wallet—no middlemen, no barriers.
When your design scales globally, returns can reach up to €1 million per coin, every single year.
This is more than opportunity—it’s generational wealth creation through shared innovation. Unprecedented opportunities will arise, especially for the new generation of designers, makers and investors – outside the establishment – who are quick to adopt this technology.

ABOUT

Redesigning Earth is founded by architect Tom Wauben, communications specialist Krista Wauben-Poulissen and their three children Elvy, Yeno and Zyan from an existential belief that we can design a better world for every single human on earth: safe, healthy and resilient, without poverty or shortages and with a positive impact on climate and nature.
