We’re proud to have had the opportunity to contribute to the De Vroege Mens (Early Human) exhibition at Naturalis Biodiversity Center.

With the original Dubois fossils returned to Indonesia, the exhibition now features high-detail replicas.

The replicas were printed in resin (SLA) using provided 3D scans, ensuring that even very fine details, such as small engravings on the shell, remain visible.

Commissioned by TNO, we designed and built a large, interactive scale-model puzzle that visualizes the amount of metals mined worldwide each year. 🌍⛏️

​

The puzzle was showcased during their Inhouse EMT Unit Day event.
It consists of multiple parts, making it easy to transport and stored for future events.
Partly 3D-printed, partly made from sturdy cardboard and wood. Everything fits perfectly together, creating an interactive and educational experience.

This past February, Hortus botanicus Leiden and Oude Sterrewacht in Leiden opened their new exhibition: Planten & Planeten.

A new exhibition where science, art, and nature come together to tell the story of life on Earth.

Ex Situ Labs contributed to this exhibition by performing a 3D reconstruction of the Ophiacodon skull -an early ancestor of mammals- and by creating the replicas of both this Ophiacodon and the skull of the early hominin "Sahelanthropus tchadensis".

We made 3D printed replicas out of Micro CT scanned Plankton shells, for an interactive "hands-on" box within Live Science at Naturalis Biodiversity Center.
