Biomimetic Application Potential of Agave sisalana Mechanical Properties, Lightness, Resistance Strategies, and Life Cycle for Digital Fabrication
This research seeks to understand which elements are responsible for the mechanical properties of Agave sisalana and how these properties can conform to lightweight, resilient structures and materials for bio-inspired additive manufacturing processes with the possibility of design innovation and sustainability through of multidisciplinary research involving biomimetics, biology, materials processing and 3D printing. Environmental issues, economics of matter and energy; Difficult access to biodegradable materials, lack of adaptation to the natural processes of recycling and reintegration into the natural cycle of the environment are points related to the research problem. We try to answer the problem question by aligning biomimetic processes, digital fabrication and design of bio-inspired materials. We try to answer the problem question by aligning biomimetic processes, digital fabrication and design of bio-inspired materials. It is believe that it is possible to emulate the strategies of lightness and strength of the cell wall structure of the Agave floral stem in bio-inspired digital artifacts.
