> Bionics approach: Biomimicry and 4D Printing

Bionics is the science that searches plants and animals for models for technical achievements. It is based on the study of biological systems to develop by biomimicry non-biological systems likely to have technological applications.

The transfer of knowledge from the biological model (for morphogenesis and shape change) to new innovative composite materials is made possible by the use of 4D printing.
