Abstract

Bioinspired design and manufacturing strategies are enabling radical innovations in healthcare and medical devices. The complex, functionally graded, fractal, multifunctional geometries and structures of nature are inspiring for conceiving highly transformative biomedical engineering solutions, but highly challenging to replicate. Decades (if not centuries) of research, together with a convergent collection of recently developed and emergent software and hardware resources, empower our biomimetic design and manufacturing abilities and render truly bioinspired solutions feasible. Such convergence is analyzed in this study and connected with the engineering of next generation implants, characterized for their life-like features or even with quasi-living behaviors. Synergic design and manufacturing technologies with remarkable impact in implants innovation, tissue engineering, biofabrication and engineered living materials are presented and illustrated by means of different case studies. Current research trends and challenges are discussed.
