Additive manufacturing in nature 2 Francesco Tomasinelli and Emanuele Biggi
Steel: strength ~1 GPa: strong bonds Spider silk: strength: ~1-2 GPa & 60% strain @ failure extreme toughness weak bonds; made @ room temperature via self-assembly

Conventional: “Top-down approach” “bottom-up approach” – example: spider silk, self-assembled solid, - Requires many different raw materials stronger than steel - Limited structural control & flexibility spinning Dennis Kunel
Material DNA Design

New: “Bottom-up approach” - Few raw materials - Enhanced flexibility through structure (spider) silk spinning protein - Integration of material synthesis 4 ‘letters’ material/ liquid to solid 20 building blocks with manufacturing of product ACGT tissue (system perspective) (amino acids)

Diverse material properties, same building block Universality-diversity paradigm – UDP
H. Waite/USCB underwater adhesive Multifunctionality actin, intermediate (mussels) (diversity) created filaments (cell) by changing structural silk fibers (spider web) arrangements of few (universal) constituents rather than inventing new collagen building blocks (tendon) Powerful paradigm for innovation - Fewer resources - More flexibility - Wider design
