Biomimicry is a discipline with long history while young life. In the past thousands of years, by learning and imitating from nature, human society has gained tremendous development. However, complicated bioinspired parts manufacturing is constrained by traditional manufacturing method. Additive manufacturing is a kind of advanced manufacturing technology developed in recent years, during additive manufacturing process, objects are built layer by layer, just like natural world; meanwhile, it is able to print extremely complicated parts. So additive manufacturing is very helpful for developing biomimicry. In this paper, typical application cases are demonstrated on additive manufacturing of morphological biomimicry, structural biomimicry and functional biomimicry, hoping be helpful for researchers who focus on design, production and application in additive manufacturing industry.
