This nugget describes how additive manufacturing is enabeling new biomimetic designs that were not feasible before. It provides a brief technology overview, and shows the design limits of a selection of relevant technologies. It also discusses the effect of these limitations on the printability of biomimetic features and structures. Contents:Overview and classification of Additive Manufacturing technologies Design limits of the technologiesPrintability of biomimetics features using different technologies.
