Fostering Cross-Industry Sustainability With Intelligent Technologies, Brojo Kishore Mishra, Editör, IGI Global, Pennsylvania, ss.499-520, 2024
Currently, additive manufacturing method and 3D printing
technologies are used in almost every industry, profession, and field for a
vast array of purposes, from the creation of basic models, toys, sophisticated
art and fashion products to complex and functional parts for aviation industry.
The scientific discipline of biomimetics draws inspiration from nature to
develop practical products and systems that mimic biological systems' structure
and functions. One benefit of using 3D printing to create biomimicry models is
that it enables the development of intricate, precise, and free-formed
geometries that resemble natural structures. This is especially helpful in the
domains of engineering and design, where it has been demonstrated that ideas
inspired by nature are effective at resolving challenging issues. This study
emphasizes a review of the development of biomimicry and how additive
manufacturing may be applicable to produce new, complex items with structures
and mechanisms that imitate principles and designs from nature.
Keywords: 3D printing, Additive manufacturing, Bioinspired
