Analysis of the sector’s innovation potential Explore a whole new universe of innovation through the living. Bioxegy Biomimétisme The rise of innovation through biomimicry: the Da Vinci Index Biomimicry continues to attract curiosity in the world of innovation , whether it is researchers, R&D engineers or even CSR departments,… The Da Vinci Index , is an indicator developed by the Fermanian Business & Economic Institute in the United States, it quantifies innovation through biomimicry in the world, taking into account the number of scientific publications, patents and the amount of research funding in the field. The figures speak for themselves: between 2000 and 2019, the number of publications increased 10-fold globally (and 100-fold in China!), while the number of patents grew by +740% over the same period. + Evolution of the amount of biomimetic research papers from 1995 à 2018 Indian Institut of Technology Report Building on its success, biomimicry now expresses its potential beyond the boundaries of the academic sphere. Indeed, it has been developing little by little since the 2010s, with renewed interest in 2020, in the R&D departments of many manufacturers - ranging from start-ups to multinationals , passing through the tissues of SMEs and ETIs . Moreover, in collaboration with the R&D departments of large industrial groups, Bioxegy imagines, designs and develops cutting-edge bio-inspired technologies, adapted to the different technical challenges they encounter. Discover the benefits of biomimicry in these different sectors of activity below : Industrial sectors The benefits of innovations through biomimicry for the environment To answer to the constraints to which it is subject, the living must optimise its processes, mechanisms and structures. Over the course of evolution, the most efficient systems given the constraints of their environment have thrived and survived, leaving us with an inexhaustible source of inspiration and able to respond to most industrial issues encountered. There are many key elements in the success and potential of biomimicry for innovation. In essence, living organisms tend to optimise all factors (weight-resistance ratio, energy cost, thermal regulation, multifunctionality, etc.) while the industry aims to maximise one or more defined parameters (rarity of a material, possibility of machining, etc.) to the detriment of others. We see, for example, that living things produce many different materials from very few chemical elements (CHNOPS: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur) assembled into complex structures while industrially, we find many simple structures but with many different chemical elements (the entire periodic table, including current issues with the use of rare earths). In this context, 3D printing has greatly contributed to the development of biomimicry by making it possible to intelligently develop structures inspired by life, that are more complex and material-saving. In short, the solutions developed by living organisms very frequently combine high performance, low production cost and multifunctionality. Drawing on the wisdom and intelligence of living know-how and thus reconciling technological progress and sustainability, this is our vision at Bioxegy. Biomimicry 3.8 was able to identify and transpose the major principles of life (these global strategic models found in the species that survive and thrive on Earth) into the principles of biomimicry. This outlines basic rules linked to biomimetic design and which allow biomimicry to be part of the principles of sustainable development established by the UN . Biomimicry's principles by Biomimicry 3.8 According to a report from BIS Institute on biomimicry in 2018, in the United States, biomimicry would save a value of 50 billion dollars in terms of conserved resources and CO2 not emitted by 2025. In 2030, this could represent 500 billion dollars globally. Innovation through biomimicry is already showing interesting results, in particular thanks to technologies making it possible to reduce the environmental impact or even to capture carbon, such as biomineralisation . It is precisely this mission that the European program CSTO2NE, which Bioxegy is apart of, leads to: a real interdisciplinary scientific collaboration project with the aim of identifying innovative and sustainable carbon absorption solutions, in particular through the formation of stable and resistant materials with important added value for the industry. Biomimicry's innovation potential and its growth As we have seen, biomimicry is a promising R&D and innovation method whose relevance to environmental issues and sustainable development is only reinforced. And it doesn’t stop there! Indeed, biomimicry is seen as a real lever for economic development in the coming years. By 2030, biomimicry could represent nearly 425 billion dollars per year of America's GDP (or 1.8%) and 2 million jobs in the United States. The predicted impact of bio-inspired innovation on employment in 2030 in the United States In South Korea, according to the Journal of Ecological Economics , the local development of bio-inspired technologies will represent nearly 62 billion dollars and 650,000 new jobs by 2035, and almost 382 billion in 2050 (i.e. 18% of its GDP). A national policy, launched in 2019, encourages the R&D development of bio-inspired technologies and the training of tomorrow's biomimetic engineers . The relevance of biomimicry and its potential growth is perceived by a growing number of countries, in particular by China whose government recently deployed substantial financial aid to support bio-inspired projects in the fields of design and architecture. China's growth in biomimicry is therefore 10 times faster than average ! ​ At the global level, the report of BIS Institute predicts that biomimicry could constitute trilllions of dollars of GDP , so more than half of the global automotive sector. ​ Confined to the development of strategies of highly industrialised countries, this potential for innovation could also be fully realised in developing countries where biomimicry today is still insufficiently considered and studied at its true value. Many countries in Latin America, Central Africa and South-East Asia, representing a large part of the world's biodiversity, have not yet fully exploited the potential of biomimicry, whose long-term economic and environmental benefits are estimated by the Journal of Ecological Economics . Biomimicry: a vector of the 6th wave of innovation After the digital revolution of the last 30 years, many researchers see biomimicry as a vector of the new technological and industrial revolution, it was also identified as one of the 8 vectors of the emergence of the sixth wave of innovation. In France, the CNRS (National Scientific Research Center) also mentionned biomimicry in its strategic priority areas in 2020. ​ Indeed, biomimicry is a promising field, given the number of disciplines involved and the diversity of subjects. Its heterogeneous nature also induces a plurality of solutions possible and conceivable, and just as many implementation methods. Its ability to respond intelligently to a very wide variety of technical issues therefore makes it a perfect candidate to support a world in the midst of change and whose constraints are increasing drastically from year to year. Biomimicry's innovative potential supports the development of Bioxegy For 5 years, our company has been growing and developing. Indeed, from year to year our total revenue doubles while our confidence is affirmed with large industrial groups from around twenty sectors, implementing to date nearly 80 ambitious R&D projects. Our success is due to the development of unique expertise and methodologies in Europe as well as our motivation , thoroughness and the diverse profiles on our team which has increased tenfold since its beginnings. ​ We discern relevant biological mechanisms capable of responding to the major industrial issues encountered by our partners, then transpose these principles to develop new biomimetic concepts whose maturity we are gradually increasing. The progressive feeding of our database , collecting to date nearly 1500 bio-inspired technologies , allows us to enrich our knowledge and become more efficient as our projects progress.

Biomimicry & Space: the obvious way to renew the conquest of space Fueled by strong international competition, the space industry is growing again: +1.7% in 2019. This growth is accompanied by significant technical and environmental challenges and therefore supposes opting for new ways of innovation. DIAGNOSTIC While it had experienced dazzling progress in the 20th century, the space industry has been decelerating in recent decades. However, new exacerbated geopolitical rivalries as well as the appearance of ambitious private players are relaunching intensive innovation. The idea of a space conquest is back on the agenda: the moon and Mars are once again a dream and space programmes are multiplying. Other civil or military topics are tending to gain importance in near orbit, through new-generation equipment, competitive and better designed launchers and satellites. An impressive range of new challenges are emerging: protection of astronauts and machines for long missions, detection of external hazards, management of debris, resilience of components... At the same time, the question, which has become fundamental, of the environmental impact of the technologies used and the role of the sector as a model. This new conquest of space is conditionned by the capacities of its actors, whether state or private, to adopt new promising and differentiating R&D paths. Their competitiveness and technological, geopolitical and commercial credibility directly depend on it. Biomimicry and space: Bioxegy shows you how biomimicry can help solve the many extraordinary challenges that arise as the space industry is undergoing a major revival. Lightweight design, robustness, resilience and reliability of components and structures, propulsion and fuel management and energy sources for launchers, satellites and capsules, autonomy, multi-functionality and reuse of systems, detection and apprehension, maintenance, robotics, crew protection, exploration and drilling technologies, etc.: there are multiple technical challenges in the space sector. What horizons for development and progress does biomimicry allow for? Nature is a specialist in extreme conditions. It knows how to demonstrate resilience and ingenuity to face the most inhospitable environments. Throughout its evolution, living things have, for example, responded to a strong need for efficiency, resistance or even optimisation of energy costs. This unparalleled technical know-how is an unrivaled source of lessons and ideas, and helps supply R&D departments in the space sector. The applied intelligence of nature makes it possible to consider the development of hyper-adapted technologies and innovative concepts that can offer unprecedented prisms of resolution. European specialist in biomimicry, Bioxegy explains to you how bio-inspired innovation is a major asset in terms of innovation. Below, we provide you with a number of relevant leads.

Biomimicry & Luxury: a marriage of convenience Balancing between respect for tradition and modernity: that's the challenge of luxury industry. To stay up to date, brands in the sector must find the right recipes to subtly go beyond their achievements and adapt to new trends. DIAGNOSTIC The market of luxury sector is upside down : the age of customers is decreasing, and the center of gravity of consumption is shifting towards Asia. The trends are clear: the consumer's desire for more naturalness, an increase in local and transparent manufacturing and sourcing objectives, social and environmental responsibility going beyond the stage of greenwashing, simplification of the product range, use of emerging and innovative technologies , and increasing personalisation. More reactive and less processed, new players are showing themselves to be very responsive to the evolution of these needs, while being equipped with evolving and up-to-date marketing. To attract the clientele and to persist in the face of the emergence of new models, the luxury sector can no longer settle for recycling the usual properties of products or rely solely on the digitisation of its sales cycle. New horizons for innovation must be found. Biomimicry and luxury : With its experience in the sector, Bioxegy reveals how biomimicry can concretely help to meet future challenges. The technical challenges are numerous: the consumer still expects as much durability and reliability , particularly for accessories such as watches, jewelery and bags: fasteners, fixings and mechanisms are the main concern. Obviously, the cross-cutting trend is above all sustainability. It gives pride of place to the development of materials and manufacturing processes. The objective is two-fold: eco-design of products (textiles, leather, packaging) and functionality: ergonomics, aesthetics and resistance (to abrasion for example). How to innovate and progress on these topics? How to communicate effectively with your audience? Biomimicry is an undeniable guarantee of success. Because it must ensure the survival of millions of species in constrained environments, nature must find solutions and approaches combining liveliness and resistance, while ensuring parsimony and finesse of principle. The result is an elegance and intelligence that commands respect. An unprecedented know-how which constitutes a model of choice for luxury players, who are distinguished precisely by the will to ensure delicacy, lightness and durability of their products. As a design and engineering office specialist in biomimicry in Europe, Bioxegy now contributes daily to the development of biomimicry in the luxury sector, by launching numerous bio-inspired innovation projects alongside its partners. Below, discover a selection of areas of relevance of biomimicry in luxury. In the luxury industry, biomimetic areas of interest apply to the following issues: Light, Resistant and Functional Materials Acoustics & Vibrations (NVH) Thermoregulation, Waterproofing and Insulation Fasteners, Junctions and Adhesion Actuations and Mechanisms Tribology, Corrosion, Abrasion Aesthetics, Colors, Optics and Ergonomics (+ Design) Miscellaneous Domains : Ecoconception, Green Chemistry Biomimicry and luxury: list of relevant axes and application subjects Testimonials & Projects Biomimicry & aerodynamics: A commonplace Biomimicry & NVH : improve noise and vibration mitigation technologies Biomimicry, structures and materials : the winning bet of lightweight design Biomimicry & tribology: a promising technological duo Biomimicry, sensing and information processing : shaping the embedded systems of the future Biomimicry to cope to the elements (abrasion, erosion, oxidation) Coming Soon

Biomimicry to improve automobile aerodynamics: the art of reducing friction The correlation is inevitable: to reduce a vehicle's emissions, you must find a way to reduce its consumption. The work on shapes and coatings makes it possible to optimise the aerodynamics of the vehicle and the air profile. A 10% reduction in the drag coefficient thus allows a reduction in consumption of around 2% in the new European driving cycle, and up to almost 5% at 130 km/h on the motorway. Another major issue linked to this theme concerns the handling of the vehicle and the energy efficiency of the tires. The best performing tires have the lowest rolling resistance possible. This depends, among other things, on aerodynamic resistance, mass, structure and shape of the tread, micro-slip and pressure level. By minimising this resistance, the energy required to move the vehicle is minimised. How can we rethink the design and components of vehicles to improve their air penetration? Nature has unrivaled know-how in this area: To hunt or defend themselves, to be mobile over short distances or long distances, to be fast or enduring, animals must have extremely optimised movement techniques, whatever their environment. To guarantee survival, it is also necessary to be able to minimise the effect. Each movement is therefore as simple as possible, intelligently thought out, stable and functional. In a universe where only the fastest or the most enduring can capture their prey, escape from their predators, or survive, the issue of aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and reduction of friction is central. Nature works on form, on materials, on surfaces. The schemes are as varied as the species. These natural properties, these strategies, form a source of very effective solutions and approaches to reduce the air resistance of a vehicle. ​ Biomimicry has been carefully studied for several years now by aeronautical manufacturers, for whom each small reduction in friction can bring considerable fuel savings. Beyond the design of structures and materials for lightweight purposes , biomimicry can also unlock its full potential in the automobile in terms of aerodynamics. Thanks to a detailed understanding of the functions and techniques present in species, we can extrapolate these biological "best practices" to guide the design of vehicles, their shapes and component surfaces to optimise their aerodynamics and thus reduce consumption. Here too, Bioxegy offers you an overview of the bio-inspired applications already existing in this area and also discusses a certain number of avenues of interest! 1 Shark skin: a morphology optimised for rapid movement To study the optimisation of movement in nature, it is particularly relevant to focus on animals occupying the top of the food chain. What's better than watching sharks swim? Sharks are experts in controlling flow and can reach nearly a hundred km/h in water for certain species. Sharks manage to control the flow thanks to their morphology, more precisely thanks to their rough skin. This is made up of micro-grooves which create turbulence and which attract the water into hollows where the flow is then slowed down. Thanks to this, friction is reduced and drag is reduced. The flow disturbed on a small scale is modified on a large scale to make it favorable for the movement of the shark. Inspired by this mechanism called the Riblet effect, German researchers (DLR and Fraunhofer Institut) have managed to design a coating reproducing these micro-grooves to reduce aircraft drag. These varnishes are fitted to prototype aircraft of the German company Lufthansa. Completely transposable to automobiles, this principle was adopted in 2014 by Peugeot. Presented at the Paris Motor Show, the Peugeot Exalt concept car was covered at the rear by the same type of covering inspired by shark skin. This made it possible to reduce the resistance to advancement and considerably improve the drag coefficient.

If so, looking out the porthole, you have surely already noticed these little growths at the tips of the wings? Called winglets, these vertical fins have become widespread throughout the aeronautical sector. They may seem insignificant, yet they play a major role in the aerodynamics of aircraft. We must once again thank a pioneer of biomimicry. In the early 1970s, NASA engineer Richard Whitcomb became interested in the behaviour of large raptors. They adapt the shape of their wings to form curvatures on their tips. These help reduce turbulence and vortices that form in the wake of the wing. Following this principle, he tested the first winglets on a US Army Boeing. These fins help reduce the vortices that appear at the end of an airplane wing. This turbulence is responsible for induced drag, one of the major components of the total drag of an aircraft. The winglets that equip commercial and military aircraft today therefore make it possible to improve the aerodynamics of the device and reduce consumption by around 3 to 4% . A considerable economic and environmental gain given the scales considered. Biomimicry applied to aerodynamics could bring the same type of improvements to the automotive sector, to better think about the penetration profile of vehicles and understand how to control air flows.

In the early 1990s, engineer Eiji Nakatsu was responsible for developping new trains for the Shinkansen, the Japanese TGV. It is faced with a major problem: the density of tunnels on the new lines is high. However, launched at full speed in these tunnels, the trains compress the air that is present, which transforms into a shock wave at the exit. A nuisance for passengers and even some local residents. How do we remove these sound booms? E.Nakatsu also happens to be an ornithologist. He knows that the kingfisher is a specialist in moving from a sparse environment to a dense environment. This bird dives head first at more than 50 km/h in lakes and ponds to hunt small fish. To avoid concussion and to avoid alerting its prey, entry into the water must be as gentle as possible. E.Nakatsu therefore asks his teams to reproduce the morphology of the kingfisher's beak and apply it to the head of the Shinkansen 500 locomotive in development. Measuring more than 10m long at the front, this new train will no longer experience shock wave problems. The bio-inspired design of the locomotive will allow a speed gain of 10 km/h and above all will reduce electricity consumption by around 15%! E.Nakatsu even went so far as to ask his engineers to take inspiration from the serrated feathers of the owl, this very silent predator, to equip the pantographs with sound attenuation systems.

Biomimicry & NVH: improve noise and vibration mitigation technologies This is a technical challenge that we find in many industries: to improve the comfort of product users, it is essential to reduce the noise pollution and vibrations that it generates and emits. We need to be able to think of intelligent, absorbent structures, review coatings and pipes, rethink shock absorbers, seals, joints or attachements of a product or component. A major challenge, especially since it often has very direct repercussions on the reliability of a technology, and therefore its security. An expert in discretion, nature has extensive know-how in this area. Prey and predators, to hunt or defend themselves, must be as stealthy as possible. The strategies for avoiding detection are numerous and smart. Animals are experts at controlling noise and vibration. To guarantee their survival, their structures and shapes must optimise “NVH performance” as much as possible. An expert in the resistance of materials, nature also has extensive know-how in the absorption of shocks and vibrations. Any system must be multi-functional and optimised at the same time, between robustness and lightness, acoustics, and sometimes even thermo-regulation and aerodynamics. Specialist in the field, Bioxegy explains to you why and how biomimicry allows you to find skillful and effective approaches in matters and NVH. We provide you with a selection of particularly evocative examples. Feline pads: the necessary search for stealth In the wild, felines occupy the top of the food chain. They are formidable predators. Even a large tiger can walk silently and stealthily thanks to the anatomy of its pads. Very large in size compared to those of canines (dogs, wolves, foxes, etc.), these pads are extremely elastic and absorb the slightest vibration or shock. Their structure is particularly interesting to study and opens up numerous potential for innovation through biomimicry. Felines are digitigrades: they move on the tips of their fingers. This makes them more discreet and agile, like masters of the hunt. Their pads are essential for this. Soft and velvety, they feel the slightest vibrations of the ground, conceal their presence when moving, and are also extremely sensitive because they allow felines to identify the texture of their prey. Despite this, they are strong enough to support the entire weight of the body. What is the secret of these mysterious pads? They are made up of numerous elastic fibers caught in adipose tissue, that is to say containing fat cells, tight and dense. The thick outer surface, the epidermis, is made up of several layers including the stratum corneum composed of numerous layers of keratin cells, the same proteins as our nails. Below, the more flexible dermis is rich in sensory receptors, then the subcutaneous tissue (adipose tissue) plays the role of shock absorber and thermal insulator thanks to the juxtaposition of multiple fat cells. This multilayer structure can inspire vibration damping systems in many industrial parts and components , from aeronautics to automobiles, household appliances and railways.

Spider silk is renowned for its unusual combination of lightness and extreme strength, which sometimes exceeds that of steel. Because of these properties, researchers have developped materials inspired by spider silk that are both strong and lightweight. Until now, the acoustic properties of spider webs have not yet been explored. However, it has been discovered that the canvases have remarkable acoustic advantages. The architecture of the web, consisting of concentric circles or "rings", combined with the variable elastic properties of the radial and circumferential silk, is capable of attenuating and absorbing vibrations in wide frequency ranges, despite its lightness. Based on this complex natural architecture, a team of researchers from Italy, France and the United Kingdom published their research on a bio-inspired acoustic metamaterial in 2016. It is a material with a specific periodic architecture which gives it remarkable properties such as blocking sound waves and mechanical vibrations. This bio-inspired metamaterial is formed from square meshes containing resonant rings and supporting ligaments that radiate from the center of the rings outwards. According to the digital modeling carried out, this new concept inhibits low frequency sounds more effectively than other existing metamaterials. This therefore opens the door to completely new applications through biomimicry, in particular for the construction of bridges or anti-seismic structures in architecture or in the design of innovative light vehicles with vibration-damping and shock-absorbing structures.

Grapefruit is a very heavy fruit: its mass can reach 6 kg. Once ripe, it falls from its tree and falls ten to fifteen meters, without cracking on impact. Its skin has a remarkable capacity to absorb shock and neutralise vibrations. Experimental results show that up to 90% of the energy on impact is dissipated during its free fall. The outer layer of its structure, called the exocarp, is dense and rigid. Conversely, the part between the skin and the quarters, called the mesocarp, is not very dense and porous. It is loaded with intercellular air and acts like a compressible foam. The density of pores gradually increases between the mesocarp and the exocarp, which makes these two parts difficult to distinguish. There is therefore no abrupt change in structural properties between tissues that could cause them to separate. The PROSE (Product Synthesis Engineering) laboratory at Texas A&M University has developped a finite element model based on the non-uniform porosity of grapefruit skin . The model simulated aluminum foam with 66% of pores dispersed within 0.6 cm of the top and bottom faces of the foam. To test the effectiveness of the porosity distribution, the team simulated the foam falling onto its upper side from a height of 1.5 meters, then measured the stress distribution. The shock caused by the impact was mainly absorbed by the upper side and did not fully propagate into the lower side, which demonstrated shock absorption properties similar to those of grapefruit. This foam design is a remarkable illustration of biomimicry. It could be useful in applications involving significant shock or vibration. For example, in the automotive field: improve the damping of a vehicle and reduce vibrations in the transmission, internal mechanics, engine or wheels.

Biomimicry in healthcare: pushing the limits of an essential industry In 2017, 4 out of 10 new drugs were of biological origin : an increasing trend. DIAGNOSTIC The health and pharmaceutical industry is booming. Since the health crisis in 2020, now more than ever, it has been the center of attention. A multiplication of technological developments coupled with a continuous transformation of the requirements of all actors in the chain, make it a sector in rapid change. ​ A challenge for actors in the field who must therefore innovate creatively and intensively to position themselves ahead of the curve and conquer new markets. Biomimicry, health and pharmaceuticals : Bioxegy shows you to what extent biomimicry is an ideal approach for innovation in this sector. The healthcare and pharmaceutical industry value chain is vast and the challenges are numerous. Biotechnologies open up new perspectives . In terms of active ingredients, innovation is intense in oncology, dermatology, treatments against infectious or chronic diseases, etc. And players in the sector must also diversify and position themselves in the fields of detection, handling or processing, or logistics and all its related challenges: packaging, micro-packaging, flow optimising, data and information storage. How to think about more impactful innovation? How to compete in ingenuity? Biomimicry is the answer of choice. Explanations. Biodiversity is full of species with sophisticated strategies and mechanisms that have tried an tested for 3.8 billion years. Nature has been able to ensure the survival of millions of species in the face of their environment while guaranteeing their physiological functioning.

Le biomimétisme chez Safran Helicopter Engines : l'intervention de Bioxegy ©Safran Helicopter Engines La nature orchestre des écosystèmes complexes et sous contraintes. Ainsi, les organismes vivants sont parfaitement équipés pour braver les éléments, assurer leur survie et leur mobilité. Le biomimétisme, parce qu'il va puiser dans la sophistication des fonctions et propriétés biologiques, représente une opportunité technologique de taille pour le secteur aéronautique. En effet, exposés à une industrie en pleine mutation, soumis à des normes sécuritaires et environnementales grandissantes et mis à l'épreuve par une concurrence intense, les acteurs de l'aéronautique doivent se réinventer et rester à la pointe de l'innovation. Aussi original que puissant, le biomimétisme est un accélérateur R&D qui permet de leur apporter un outil de résolution technologique concret. Il est aussi particulièrement bénéfique quand il s'agit d'alimenter le développement d'innovations de rupture. 1 Oser le Biomimétisme , un choix logique Safran Helicopter Engines est le leader mondial des turbines pour hélicoptères. Implémentée à Bordes en France, l'entreprise conçoit et produit une large gamme de systèmes de motorisations pour hélicoptères, notamment les turbines à gaz. Créé il y a plus de 75 ans, le motoriste béarnais repose sur une tradition d'invention et d'anticipation et consacre près de 15% de son chiffre d'affaires à la R&D. C'est donc en parfaite adéquation avec cette culture du progrès que Safran Helicopter Engines s'est rapproché de Bioxegy afin d'identifier les leviers d'action et les opportunités qu'offre le biomimétisme pour les technologies et systèmes que ses équipes conçoivent et fabriquent. 3 cups Blueberries 3 cups Flour 18 000 Turbines en opération 1½ cups Butter 2500 Clients dans le monde 15% du CA Consacré à la R&D Safran Helicopter Engines en chiffres ©Safran Helicopter Engines ©Safran Helicopter Engines 2 Biomimétisme, identification et idéation : l'intervention de Bioxegy auprès des équipes de Safran Helicopter Engines L'équipe Bioxegy s'est donc rendue à Bordes pour une journée auprès des équipes R&D de Safran Helicopter Engines. Un programme en deux temps : Une conférence de découverte initiale du biomimétisme pour un large auditoire de collaborateurs. L'objectif étant tout d'abord de faire découvrir le biomimétisme, d'en présenter les opportunités technologiques concrètes et d'exposer les leviers d'action pressentis par Bioxegy pour Safran Helicopter Engines. Une matinée pour aider à se projeter. Puis, dans un second temps, un atelier de travail et de diagnostic ciblé auprès des différents experts et responsables techniques de Safran : après avoir passé en revue les enjeux et thématiques technologiques des départements présents, l'objectif était d'identifier les opportunités d'innovation qu'offre le biomimétisme. Acoustique, légèreté des systèmes, résistance et fiabilité des matériaux, multifonctionnalité, thermorégulation, optimisation énergétique... : les perspectives de développement étaient nombreuses. Bioxegy a donc aidé les équipes Safran à se projeter sur des cas d'application concrets et prometteurs. Un travail d'idéation pour imaginer comment le biomimétisme pourrait rendre les turbomachines du constructeur plus sobres et plus durables, donc plus compétitives, et adaptées aux différentes phases de vol. 1/4 ©Safran Helicopter Engines ©Safran Helicopter Engines " Le biomimétisme n’est pas seulement une source d’inspiration biologique, où l’aile d’un avion ressemble à celle d’un oiseau. Le biomimétisme doit aussi être vu comme une méthodologie de conception R&D prometteuse, pour résoudre des problématiques complexes en tirant partie des solutions mises en œuvre par la nature dans son écosystème. Les cas d’usages dans un secteur comme l’aéronautique sont donc nombreux, que cela soit dans des domaines comme l’aérodynamisme, l’acoustique ou le thermique. Et même dans un environnement très contraignant comme peut-être celui d’un moteur d’hélicoptère, nous trouvons des problématiques et des similitudes avec les situations vécues par la nature. L'équipe Bioxegy s'est d'abord appliquée à démystifier le sujet par une conférence d'acculturation très efficace auprès de l'ensemble de nos équipes. Puis, dans un second temps, Bioxegy s'est attachée à diffuser de façon détaillée des cas d'applications concrets lors d'un atelier de diagnostic et de créativité. Nos équipes techniques se sont rapidement prises au jeu de la bio-inspiration et nous avons abouti à une trentaine de cas d’usages potentiels qui demandent maintenant à être explorés plus en détails pour valider la faisabilité de tous ces concepts prometteurs." Renaud Barrail R&T / Open Innovation Program Manager Safran Helicopter Engines " 3 Déployer le biomimétisme avec pragmatisme : le point de vue Bioxegy Le plus important pour Bioxegy, c'est d'arriver à trouver le bon angle d'approche pour chacun de nos partenaires. À chaque fois, notre efficacité repose sur notre capacité à trouver le format le plus adapté aux processus et méthodes d'innovation du partenaire en question. Le potentiel du biomimétisme est très vaste , une tendance confirmée auprès de Safran Helicopter Engines. Il faut donc pouvoir sélectionner les pistes les plus pertinentes, travailler également par élimination, et il faut savoir envisager différents angles d'attaque. Nous devons composer avec des contraintes particulières et des rythmes d'innovation singuliers. Ceci implique, par exemple, de pouvoir initier des sprints sur des sujets intelligemment périmétrés amenant ainsi à des PoC sur des horizons courts : 6 à 9 mois. C'est cette approche pragmatique qui nous a permis d'identifier des opportunités de projets pertinentes et faisables pour Safran Helicopter Engines . C'est donc en toute logique que nous leur proposerons de poursuivre cette collaboration et d'embrayer avec le démarrage d'études de recherche de conception biomimétique Aujourd'hui, nous sommes ravis de constater que leurs équipes sont alignées pour chercher à définir et enclencher des projets de R&D bio-inspirée. Nous avons hâte de continuer ce cheminement d'innovation !" " Simon De Myttenaere COO | Bioxegy

Biomorphism: the revolution of design Biomorphism, one of the many sub-methods of biomimicry, consists of drawing inspiration from the shapes of nature, for its aesthetic aspect but also for its performance. Since the first use of the terms “biomorphic” or “biomorphe” by Alfred CORT HADDON, in his work Evolution in Art published in 1895, biomorphism has been found in various works. The latter has an artistic but also technical character. Biomorphism meets technological performance objectives, particularly in the fields of mobility and construction! Players in the transport and real estate fields face issues related to reducing the consumption of energy and limited resources. In aeronautics or automotive (to name just these two sectors), aerodynamic losses lead to excess fuel consumption which involves pollution and additional costs. Minimising these losses is therefore a crucial issue for these two industrial categories. In the construction industry, raw material costs and the impact on the environment are major issues for tomorrow's buildings. Succeeding in developing premises, offices and homes with resistant, lightweight and thermally efficient structures (among other things) are challenges of the highest order. ​ However, traditional methods of reflection to optimise current solutions encounter their limits. The majority of shapes are currently generated from an anthropo-thought solution, dependent on manufacturing methods and performance parameters. ​ What if in reality we had to push the changes further to see the beneficial effects appear? In terms of resources and time, it is not possible to test all possible combinations. How then can we know if a drastic change will be better? A specialist in the field, Bioxegy explains to you through a few examples why and how biomimicry is a source of solutions and new approaches for thinking about the biomorphism of the future. Natural forms emerged as a result of 3.8 billion years of evolution and natural selection. The interest of biomorphism is to be able to offer new designs that are very different from the usual ones. Industrial design methods, based on anthropomorphism, have favoured the emergence of simple and regular shapes: paving stone, square cube, rectangle, round, sphere, etc. By reproducing the shapes and trends found in nature, biomorphism makes it possible to make drastic changes towards more organic shapes: comb, grooves, scales, hexagonal tiling... In life, these shapes appeared as the result of 3.8 billion years of evolution and natural selection. Biomorphism can be a source of incremental or disruptive innovations. Using this approach, new shapes and geometries can be designed to result in innovative and improved designs. In nature, the design of each living being are compromises in order to optimise all parameters: maximising performance by minimising trade-offs. For example, the shape of birds' wings allows them to glide with minimal effort and minimal mass. The shape of fish scales reduces friction with the water while protecting them. Thanks to the shape of its beak and skull, the kingfisher penetrates the water without splashing or making waves, which allows it to catch its prey without blurring its vision. And there are a plethora of other examples of biomorphism designed from the two million species known to date (2022)! By using these forms, it is therefore possible to develop high-performance systems. What is the role of Bioxegy in the field of biomorphism? A specialist in biomimicry, Bioxegy will use a biomorphic approach as a response to some of the many industrial and complex problems. Through a few examples, biomorphism will perhaps convince you that it is a method of reflection that can lead to concrete results. ​ Passive thermoregulation of the cactus Biological inspiration: Torch cactuses live in hot, arid deserts. They must therefore regulate their surface temperature to limit water loss. A particularity of these cactuses is the presence of outgrowing awns. This shape creates a temperature difference between the inside and outside of their sides. This not only creates shading but also causes convective flows of cooling air. Biomorphic technical system: The Votu Brazil hotel decided to implement boards on all building facades, thus reducing exposure to the sun's rays. This biomorphism, which imitates the ribs of the torch cactus, limits direct exposure by 75% on average and generates external air currents. The surface temperature of the protected windows is reduced by 6°C in summer. Box fish: an inspiration for some vehicles ​ ​Biological inspiration: Box fish are astonishing animals, their cubic (or cobblestone) shape contrasts with the usual rather elongated shapes of fish and clashes with our conventional conceptions of hydrodynamics. However, the boxfish moves with agility in the aquatic environment, it is even capable of maneuvering in all directions. ​ Biomorphic technical system: These shapes intrigued the engineers at Mercedes-Benz, who focused on the development of a concept of a car imitating the shape of box fish. The results are surprising: in addition to reducing friction, the volume available inside the passenger compartment and trunk is maximised. Vehicles such as cars, trucks or buses are subject to a high drag force due to their large frontal area, which leads to high fuel consumption and significant costs. Air has difficulty flowing in this area. A car fairing is inspired by the shape of the boxfish to guide airflow. The coefficient of friction is reduced by more than two (from 0.56 to 0.24) compared to a conventional vehicle. Biomorphism therefore reduces the effort to move forward, reduces the influence of side winds and pressure fluctuations on the sides due to the separation of the air flow around the fairing. Fuel consumption is therefore reduced and driving is more pleasant. Rethinking wind turbines: biomorphism is used to change the way they operate and produce energy ​ Biological inspiration: Kelp, also called bladderwrack, is a kind of algae that floats and undulates in a column thanks to the presence of small balls filled with air. This allows it to remain on the surface to carry out photosynthesis and protect itself from drought by remaining in the currents. The kelp also secretes a mucus which limits its evapotranspiration and it is one of the longest, flexible and mechanically resistant species of kelp. Biomorphic technical system: Conventional tidal turbines look like wind turbines but underwater, they are driven by sea currents. Only the rotating movement of the blades disturbs these currents as well as the local fauna and flora. Scientists were therefore interested in a paradigm shift, another way of producing electricity by capturing the energy of currents or waves. After a snake tidal turbine and another with a membrane inspired by eels, they designed a tidal turbine inspired by the kelp. Developped in Australia by BioPower Systems teams, it is attached to the ground in medium depth areas (between 30 and 50m) near the coast and can be directly connected to the network. It follows the movement and direction of the waves by pivoting on its base for greater energy production and less resistance. In addition, its biomimetic design makes it safe for local wildlife. This device is easily detachable to be able to carry out maintenance on land without moving the entire structure. 25m high, one unit would produce up to 1MW, like a small wind turbine. Likewise, our wind turbines can be redesigned thanks to biomorphism.

3D Printing: towards a democratisation of biomimetic technologies 3D printing and additive manufacturing could well hold a bright future for biomimicry . They make possible industrial scale reproduction of natural structures and forms that were difficult to manufacture until now. DIAGNOSTIC Due to the many requirements of manufacturers, as well as the work of many biology laboratories which increase our understanding of living organisms every day, biomimicry has stronlgy developped in the areas of surface coatings, structural design and system architectures. In this regard, thanks to 3D printing and additive manufacturing, it is gradually becoming possible to copy structures at small scales (micro or nanometric) in order to develop new composites with multifunctional properties : resistance , flexibility, lightness, aerodynamics , adhesion, thermo-regulation , ... The democratisation of 3D printing as a production lever is becoming essential to think about the organisation of production chains and manufactured products. At this very moment, many bio-inspired innovations under development aim to improve existing materials as well as to instrumentalise new materials and processes through 3D printing. To the point where one could legitimately think that the prism of biomimicry increases the field of action of 3D printing and maximizes its relevance. The three application cases presented below, respectively in the medical fields, aeronautics /defense and construction are particularly illustrative of the potential and challenges to be met for bio-inspired innovation. 3D printing and biomimicry: bio-engineering revolution ©Luke Sharrett | Bloomberg Bio-engineering , and more specifically the manufacturing of prosthetics for medical use, takes full advantage of the coupling of 3D printing and biomimicry. Originally, these could only be made from solid pieces and therefore heavy and mechanically more fragile than biological bones, which are hollow and have an optimal mass/mechanical resistance ratio. However, thanks to 3D printing, it is now possible to reproduce these structures and even make artificial cartilage and ligaments, ensuring reproduction as close as possible to life. Tailor-made for each patient is also a requirement, because the advent of 3D printing makes the customisation of production both inexpensive and simple to implement. Bio-inspired 3D printing: aeronautics and defense are one step ahead! The aeronautic and defense industries, historical providers of innovations that then spilled over into the civilian sector (GPS, nuclear reactor, etc.), are also at the forefront of 3D printing. It has already made inroads with several aircraft manufacturers. Since 2015, Airbus has been manufacturing the largest 3D printed cabin component made from an alloy of aluminium, magnesium and scandium. The world leader was particularly inspired by the cellular architecture of the myxomycete (or “blob”) and bone development in humans. This new kind of part, resulting from additive manufacturing, has seen its mass reduced by 30 kg, or nearly 45%. The resulting mass saving means significant fuel savings, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of the aviation sector. Reduce the use of aluminum The drastic safety standards that weigh on aircraft manufacturers are not a major technical constraint for 3D printing. Although the process of certifying parts remains long and costly, certain processes such as additive manufacturing by energy deposition make it possible to print titanium to produce parts that are lighter than their aluminum counterpart. This remarkable characteristic of 3D printed titanium parts could lead them to gradually replace their aluminum elders: the king metal in the aeronautics industry. On this technology, some players are now supporting companies to integrate 3D printing into their value chains, including the French group AddUp (a joint venture between the machine tool manufacturer, Fives, and Michelin , the latter being the world leader in volume of parts printed by additive manufacturing in the world). Learn more about biomimicry in aeronautics ©Luke Sharrett | Bloomberg Bio-inspired 3D printing to revolutionize construction. In construction, materials have also evolved to allow the printing of concrete or metal infrastructures, even as the revolution of the single-family house printed in less than one day. XtreeE and Egis, for example, recently recreated a reef inspired by coralligenous, using cement specially designed by LafargeHolcim, in order to regenerate marine habitats in the Marseille region. This approach also validates, in this respect, the wealth of innovations inspired by coral ecosystems after Fortera in the United States developped a cement that generates less CO2 during its production by taking inspiration from the bio-mineralisation of the carbon present in water. Learn more about biomimicry in construction 3D printing and biomimicry : a marriage for the future In conclusion, in this period of strong technological innovation resulting in particular from the digital revolution, 3D printing will make it possible to reproduce the organisation of patterns of materials invented by nature, which have given certain organic materials remarkable multifunctional properties (strength, flexibility, lightness, aerodynamics, grip, thermoregulation, etc.) that can bring significant benefits in the industrial world. It thus completes the advent of biomimicry as a method of innovation and product design. It is also for this reason that Bioxegy is now supporting this revolution by offering its expertise in biomimicry , its network and innovation methods , to help companies take advantage of the library of life innovations , to rethink their value chain through a subtle but obviously relentless approach.
