Biomimicry With 3D Printing
Biomimicry and 3D printing are increasingly being integrated, particularly as more natural materials are developed and innovative patterns or structures are introduced into part design. Specifically, 3D printing plays a significant role in replicating nature. This approach is applicable across a wide range of industries, including architecture, consumer goods, and fashion.
One example is the creation of a 3D-printed biomimetic shoe using SLS technology and flexible TPE, a material that provides excellent comfort and flexibility. This unique design, inspired by roots and life, is depicted below. Another project is the Pleurobot, a salamander robot capable of swimming underwater or crawling like a real salamander. Developed by the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, the robot features 3D-printed bones and motorized joints that imitate the movements of a salamander.
