Abstract

Nature creates efficient, complex structures using the smallest possible amount of material. The construction principles employed and the intelligent use of materials regarding their specific properties can be transferred to modern production methods. The objective is to produce functional low-weight building components that consume as few resources as possible. In this chapter we show how this bionic transfer takes place by continuing the development of production methods, such as fiber technology (pultrusion, fiber deposition), 3D printing, the manufacture of concrete components, and a combination of these three methods.
