Abstract
The field of bio-inspired design has tremendously transitioned into newer automated methods, yet there are methods being discovered which can elucidate underlying principles in design, materials, and manufacturing. Bio-inspired design aims to translate knowledge from the natural world to the current trends in industry. The recent growth in additive manufacturing (AM)methods has fueled the tremendous growth of bio-inspired products. It has enabled the production of intricate and complicated features notably used in the aerospace industry. Numerous methodologies were adopted to analyse the process of bio-inspired material selection, manufacturing methods, design, and applications. In the current review, different approaches are implemented to utilize bio-inspired designs that have revolutionized the aerospace industry, focusing on AM methods.
