Abstract

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.
