Biomimétisme : les performances tribologiques d'un produit et de ses composants est important pour limiter l'usure, en prolonger la durée de vie et réduire les pertes mécaniques par frottement. Le biomimétisme est une solution idéale pour améliorer les performances en matière de tribologie ! Biomimicry, a promising toolbox for tribology The tribological performance of a product and its internal components is important to extend its lifespan , limit wear and breakdowns, or quite simply to avoid mechanical losses through friction. Despite past improvements, progress remains to be made, particularly on rubbing surfaces. In automobiles, for example, it has been estimated that 17% of combustion energy is lost in internal mechanical friction. All parts of the driveline are affected: from the engine to the wheels and the transmission. Any improvement would also limit the noise emitted by a product or an internal part, and even reduce thermal losses. An expert in friction, lubrication, and saving energy, nature has extensive know-how in this area. To move, species must use efficient techniques to minimise the energy they use. Whether on land or in the sea, life is a specialist when it comes to minimising friction: its drag must be reduced as much as possible. Lubrication and wear reduction techniques are an art mastered by living beings. To guarantee their survival and physical integrity, they must minimise damage due to contact with the external environment. To feed itself, living things have also developped formidable techniques of predation and capture: nature is full of merciless and dead-end traps based, among other things, on exceptional lubricating properties. A specialist in the field, Bioxegy explains why and how biomimicry makes it possible to design new approaches and technologies in tribology. We provide you with a selection of evocative examples. Nepenthes Alata: the art of creating non-stick surfaces. Carnivorous plants feed on insects which serve as nutritional supplements. Each species has developped its own technique , which is extremely effective in attracting, capturing and digesting its prey. Nepenthes Alata is a species with a remarkable capture strategy. At the end of each leaf there is a deep cavity that can reach several tens of centimeters in length, and which constitutes a formidable trap for each insect. The entrance to the trap is covered with nectar which attracts them and leads them directly to the inside of the cavity where the walls are so slippery that it is impossible for them to cling to it to escape . The insects then fall into the digestive zone where they will be quickly anesthetised and then dissolved. Where do these non-stick properties come from? The internal walls of the slippery area are super-hydrophobic and microscopically rough: they are covered with wax crystals which prevent insects from attaching to them. The company Adaptive Surface Technologies was inspired by this microstructure to create a non-stick, ultra-repellent and self-healing surface coating. Named SLIPS ®, this liquid coating is applicable to a wide range of materials such as metals and ceramics, and repels all kinds of liquids and foul particles. This provides unrivaled performance, particularly compared to sprayed superhydrophobic surfaces. In the automobile industry, such a coating opens up new avenues of solutions to reduce friction and improve the lubrication of systems. Crédits images : ©Adaptive Surface Technologies ©Bioxegy © I. Scholz, M. Bückins, L. Dolge, T. Erlinghagen, A. Weth, F. Hischen, J. Mayer, S. Hoffmann, M. Riederer, M. Riedel, W. Baumgartner Snakes: reduce friction without lubrication to ensure good movement speed. Snakes are crawling animals. To move quickly on all kinds of ground, they must control their friction in two aspects: gripping to better propel themselves and sliding to prevent dragging. Their skin is made up of evenly distributed individual scales that reduce friction and wear. Another remarkable reptile is the sand fish: it glides over the sand, like a fish through water. For this reason, it has a special exterior skin, whose resistance to erosion is greater than that of steel! Its skin is made of keratin and sulfur, which gives it an extremely low coefficient of friction. Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany were interested in the morphology of the skin and scales of these reptiles, which allowed them to create bio-inspired metallic surfaces with unrivaled friction coefficients. On dry surfaces, they found that this design resulted in a 40% decrease in friction compared to an equivalent unmodified flat surface. Studying the potential of biomimicry to create surface textures is a relatively new area of research full of opportunities. In many industries, such as watchmaking, such a surface morphology could greatly reduce wear at the level of dry contact between two metallic parts, for example internal cogs. Crédits images : ©Christian Greiner, Michael Schäfer Fish skin: design a revolutionary industrial lubricant Fish have a gland that secretes a specific mucus which attaches to the skin and envelops the body. Composed of mucoproteins, this mucus plays a crucial role: it allows the fish to protect itself against the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms, but also to move quickly in the water thanks to its very low coefficient of friction. This mucus is also very effective in making the fish more elusive for predators: it slips. A team of Chinese researchers sought to reproduce the properties of this powerful mucus. They succeeded in developping a hydrophilic substance, called hydrogel. Containing particular chemical compounds, it varies according to pH and temperature, which modify the molecular chains: conformational changes occur. The coefficient of friction is adjustable and can be very low or very high: At a high pH (7) and ambient temperature (~20°C), the coefficient of friction is very low: 0.05. At a low pH and high temperature (32°C), the friction coefficient becomes very high: 1.2. This bio-inspired lubricant with modular friction is particularly promising and could be used in numerous industrial mechanical components, all sectors combined!

L’architecture biomimétique offre à l’homme un nouveau prisme de développement dans un monde où la restriction sur l’utilisation des ressources devient un impératif. À l’aune d’une ère plus écologique, l’architecture biomimétique ouvre une nouvelle voie pour concevoir la ville de demain. Biomimetic architecture: when the building becomes an ecosystem Biomimetic architecture offers man a new prism of development in a world where restrictions in terms of resources are becoming essential. In the light of an era of sustainable development, biomimetic architecture opens a new path for designing the city of tomorrow . Biomimetic Architecture in a constantly evolving world Biomimetic architecture , as its name indicates, is greatly linked to biomimicry (a R&D approach which consists of drawing inspiration from the ingenuity of the mechanisms, properties and functions of living beings to innovate). Biomimetic architecture is defined as a design approach following codes and rules found in the living world in order to resolve frequent problems in the field of architecture. This makes it possible to introduce into biomimetic buildings the ingenuity and multifunctionality that living beings demonstrate. Biomimetic architecture, a bridge between Man and Earth In the 21st century, the electronics and communication technology sectors are growing. At the same time, this last century has seen another rupture: that of global urbanisation. Since the mid-20th century, urban growth has literally exploded across the entire surface of the globe (56% of the current world population lives in cities compared to 70% estimated in 2050!). While in 1950, the Île-de-France region was already home to more than 6 million inhabitants, it exceeded the threshold of 10 million inhabitants in 2005, reaching more than 12 million today! On a larger scale, the world population increases each year by around 80 million people, it is estimated that the world urban population will reach 9.6 billion in 2050 ! The architecture of certain very dense cities with strong demographic growth must therefore adapt, so why not take inspiration from living things via biomimetic architecture? Be careful not to confuse design inspired by living things for aesthetic purposes with biomimetic architecture! Despite the obviously aesthetic interest in reproducing forms that remind us of the most beautiful things we observe in nature, biomimetic architecture is mainly inspired by the functionalities and properties of life to provide added value at a sustainable and functional level for innovative structures and buildings! Biomimetic Architecture facing current challenges The current high population growth poses several problems in our societies on several aspects: First, according to the UN, population growth is the “main factor driving food needs” . Indeed, non-renewable natural resources are decreasing sharply and the population is growing, this being problematic both for the populations but also at the political level, natural resources being vectors of conflicts. Then, we are currently seeing unprecedented degradation of soils and natural ecosystems , explaining, in part, the significant desertification of many territories. This is a consequence of the proliferation and difficulties in managing resources implied by mass urbanisation. Finally, the carbon footprint is also increasing enormously, leading to very large ecological overexploitation . Biomimetic architecture can help us meet this challenge, by encouraging our societies to rethink inhabited spaces in order to increase their resilience. Namely, the concept of resilience is closely associated with a sustainable and circular, even restorative, approach. Biomimetic architecture can be expressed through buildings with optimised shapes and structures but also through the use of materials reducing our ecological footprint! The city of Manila in the Philippines, among the densest in the world Biomimetic architecture, a bridge between Man and Earth Faced with the realities of this destruction caused by humanity, many designers and architects have committed to the restoration of environments and biodiversity . It is in this context that biomimetic architecture emerges, self-sufficient in resources and directly inspired by the nature that it hopes to heal. Biomimetic architecture through the reuse of materials As we know, in nature there really is no such thing as “waste”. All materials are reused or recycled, allowing other species to use them. In life, all materials involved in a transformation are useful and valued in a certain way. To avoid the term waste, we call co-products the residual products which are not those targeted by the transformation. We can therefore consider using bio-sourced materials, thus derived from organic matter, to produce biodegradable and recyclable materials. We can also valorise these co-products for other uses, such as using shrimp shells to produce plastic (Shrilk ) or even duck feathers for insulation materials! Certain species also use their natural environment to build their habitat, so we can think of drawing inspiration from these species for biomimetic architecture! This is what a 3D printing company did, taking inspiration from the mason wasp! In fact, mason wasps build nests in the ground in order to place their eggs and larvae there and therefore to protect them. The idea of a biomimetic architecture inspired by these wasps then makes it possible to build houses based on earth, natural fibers and binders & stabilisers inspired by the saliva of the mason wasp for habitats that are both sustainable and efficient. In the same principle, we can also draw inspiration from termites, impressive builders capable of creating gigantic termite mounds and large underground galleries only with the use of their saliva and the surrounding earth! This is particularly useful for producing earth-based construction materials that are therefore biodegradable and bio-sourced. Biomimetic architecture is therefore also inspired by very inventive species using their environment (see our article on these incredible engineer species !) An example of a large termite mound Furthermore, much research has also been carried out to produce concrete with a smaller ecological footprint, in particular by using bio-sourced binders to facilitate the production of concrete. For example, we can cite For tera cement which draws its inspiration from corals! Corals in fact produce calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from the surrounding CO2, a compound necessary for the production of concrete. By imitating the biomineralisation process of corals during the concrete production line, concrete can be produced without the overconsumption of CO2. Here is yet another example of carbon footprint reduction (- 60% fewer emissions across the entire production chain) via biomimetic architecture! Biomimetic architecture and its innovative ecological solutions British architect Michael Pawlyn has embarked on the project of reforesting the Sahara using greenhouses inspired, for example, by desert fog-basking beetle (but also by permaculture, camel nostrils and other species). This specy of desert coprophagous beetles (especially in Namibia), is renowned for its ability to harvest moisture from the air. Indeed, the elytra of these insects - chitinous protections covering their wings - are punctuated with hydrophilic protuberances which increase the surface tension of the drops and cause them to coagulate. These collect moisture from the fog while hydrophobic hollows ensure the droplets formed are evacuated towards the head when the mealworm bends down! Hence its somewhat… special appearance! By taking inspiration from this specy, it is therefore possible to redirect humidity more easily to supply greenhouses! This is a very promising and interesting example of biomimetic architecture in view of the current and future context! The desert fog-basking beetle, bending to direct the drops towards its mouth © James Harris Anderson These same strategies were used to imagine new housing solutions allowing the development of a symbiotic relationship between living things and buildings via biomimetic architecture. With this in mind, an architectural firm designed a bio-façade adapted to seaweed farming. Micro -algae, in addition to presenting an obvious aesthetic interest, capture CO2 present in the atmosphere and can be harvested to be used in the manufacture of biopolymers or biofuels. These products can then be used to remanufacture materials necessary for the construction of buildings, once again showing the ability of biomimetic architecture to reduce our ecological footprint! We also find, in the biomimetic architecture of this green barrier, natural optimisation strategies. Taking direct inspiration from the stratification of forest ecosystems, the shade projected is used by solar panels to cultivate bushy or herbaceous species. An innovative and original way to reuse solar energy thanks to biomimetic architecture ! Thus, numerous biomimetic architecture projects are developing and little by little presenting an alternative to the city of concrete, glass and steel, for an integrated habitat, the child of the ingenuity of Man and Nature. Have you already heard of the “ Paris Smart City 2050 ” project? It is a biomimetic architecture concept by Vincent Callebaut aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75% in Paris by 2050 by establishing much more nature in the city of lights! For example, we would find green towers using bio-air conditioning, towers containing cells that are united in terms of energy or even towers with very large plant walls allowing efficient photosynthesis! Enough to completely overhaul neighbourhoods using biomimetic architecture! The concept of Paris Smart City 2050 © Vincent Callebaut Architectures Biomimetic architecture, a bridge between Man and Earth Biomimetic architecture and functionalisation Biomimetic architecture makes it possible to create innovative designs to address many issues and can provide numerous advantages and benefits in several aspects, here are two examples: Temperature regulation : Taking inspiration once again from termite mounds, the Eastgate Center in Harare, Zimbabwe, mimics the passive cooling performance of termite mounds using porous materials that are also local and bio-sourced. This provides better nighttime ventilation and therefore better temperature regulation, allowing a 10% reduction in energy costs linked to air conditionning in a conventional building! South Korea's Thematic Pavilion is inspired by the bird of paradise (Strelitzia reginae - it's actually a plant ) , which has the ability to open its petals when a bird lands on it, discovering the pollen of the flower which will be disseminated via the bird. This example of biomimetic architecture adapts according to the environment and the amount of sun perceived, making it possible to capture the most sun when the weather is cloudy and on the contrary to accentuate the shading when the weather is very sunny. This makes it possible to effectively regulate the temperature! Lighting : Another project by architect Michael Pawlyn, named “ The Biomimetic Office ”, is inspired by the eye of the barreleye fish , capable of efficiently focusing light into one point. By imitating its mirror structure, it is possible to increase the light level on the lower floors of this building, allowing in particular to use less electricity for lighting! Other bio-inspired functionalisations exist, such as hydrophobic surfaces (inspired, for example, by the lotus leaf) allowing automatic cleaning and protection of certain materials. Biomimetic architecture can therefore bring new benefits to certain buildings and is therefore very promising! Biomimetic architecture and lightweight design Lightweight design consists of the design of products or structures that are as light as possible while maintaining equal resistance to stress, particularly mechanical stress. Biomimetic architecture and lightweight design are therefore obviously linked, due to the need to design resistant buildings while using less material, for economic and ecological reasons. Lightweight design in biomimetic architecture can manifest itself through the materials used, the shape or the structure of buildings. There are a lot of bio-inspired lightweight structures, such as cell-shaped structures inspired by bee hives that are found in several industrial fields, and which make it possible to effectively absorb vibrations. Another example of lightweight biomimetic architecture is inspired by the Venus basket, or glass sponge, living in an environment with strong underwater currents and very high pressure due to its depth. Their shape allows them to distribute forces over their entire surface and therefore better absorb vibrations and inspired the Gherkin Tower in London! Many bio-inspired lattice structures are also being sought and can still be found in order to have lighter structures using fewer materials but still very resistant! Venus' basket, or glass sponge © NOAA under Creative Commons license Conclusion Biomimetic architecture, dictated by rules and codes observed in nature, is a subject of the future which could help reduce the harmful effects of population growth. It involves not only the reuse of materials and resources but also the functionalisation of new structures, enough to give ideas for your future at home!

Biomimétisme : la nature est une source d'inspiration évident et idéalement pour travailler l'aérodynamisme de profils, surfaces portantes et revêtements, dans de nombreuses industries, de l'aéronautique à l'automobile en passant par l'éolien ou la construction. Bioxegy vous livre ses analyses. Biomimicry & aerodynamics: A commonplace The challenge is the same in many industries, particularly in aeronautics or in the automotive industries: the future of these sectors depend largely on their ability to reduce the environmental impact of their technologies, particularly in regard to CO2 emissions. An essential lever: improving aerodynamic finesse. Aerostructures, bodywork, airfoils, propellers and blades: biomimicry is an ideal tool of technological design to review or improve industrial methods and approaches concerning aerodynamics . Many species of birds, insects or even aquatic animals have amazing movement abilities. They are juggling effort, speed and endurance. Biomimicry, which is not new to the field, seeks to understand how these forms and coatings present in nature can enlighten the adoption of new design approaches for industrial structures and components. The goal: reduce drag, improve aerodynamic finesse, reduce turbulence vortex, stabilize movement, reduce friction,... The aeronautics industry is one of the most advanced in terms of bio-inspiration: winglets inspired by large raptors (-4% consumption), aerodynamic varnishes inspired by the skin of sharks (-2% consumption). The use cases are already numerous. There are still many opportunities to explore. Here is a particularly striking example. The humpback whale is a cetacean of impressive size: 13 to 15 meters long and nearly 40 tons. Despite this, it is a particularly agile marine animal , capable of hunting herring or salmon: it is capable of sharp turns to trap or chase its prey. This size vs. agility duality surprises marine biologists. They discover that part of the mystery lies in the humpback whale's anatomical features . Indeed, it owes its agility to the tubercles present on the leading edges of its fins. A peculiarity that defies common sense : how can such a deformed and non-smooth surface be so hydro- and aerodynamic? Since then, the aerodynamic effects of these protuberances have been widely studied: Tubercles reduce drag by almost 8%. They also accompany the flow of air so as to delay the stall and to increase its angle by almost 40%! Other advantages, although not demonstrated to date, have been mentionned: reduction of noise pollution and increase in lift. Diagrams produced by the Bioxegy team, as part of an infrastructure project carried out with one of our partners. The tubercles of the fins, placed upstream of the phalanges on the leading edge, allow, among other things, to stabilise and group together the disturbing vortices. ©Bioxegy | Right diagram partly based on figures from: True & William, the whalebone whales of the western North Atlantic, 1904 This discovery has since led to many bio-inspired technologies: The ZIPP company, expert manufacturer of bicycle wheels, opted for a design that reproduces the protrusions of the fin to improve the aerodynamics and stability of the whole structure: a patented technology that has significantly reduced the drag experienced by the wheel. In Canada, one of the experts who highlighted the aerodynamic phenomena created by tubercles launched the company WhalePower. It has designed a bio-inspired wind turbine blade that uses the principle of protrusion on the leading edge to improve the performance of the airfoil. Result: the wind turbine thus equipped has a 20% higher yield and is activated by weaker wind forces.

Biomimétisme : optimiser le rapport poids/résistance est un défi de taille pour de nombreuses industries, afin de réduire l'impact environnemental et énergétique de leurs produits et technologies. Le biomimétisme est un outil de conception particulièrement armé pour y répondre ! Biomimicry and thermo-regulation: playing with temperatures, a natural game Thermo-regulation concerns all sectors of activity. Whether it is about making a place comfortable for living beings or ensuring the proper functioning of a technical system, temperature is often an important parameter. Thus, a building or a means of transport must remain within reasonable temperature ranges, an electronic system must not overheat for safety reasons. Likewise, a chemical or medical component, such as a vaccine, must be maintained at a temperature guaranteeing its effectiveness. To control temperature in such diverse conditions, many challenges arise. First of all, questions of thermal insulation are essential to achieve a constant temperature regardless of external conditions, whether it is keeping a place hot or cold. This is generally not sufficient, and heating or cooling mechanisms are also necessary. The less energy these mechanisms consume, the better, both from an economic and environmental point of view. Finally, when processes generate heat, we must be able to dissipate this heat efficiently. Thermo-regulation issues are therefore complex and varied, and progress in this area is necessary for many applications. 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 thermo-regulation systems of the future. Nature does not escape the need for thermoregulation. On the contrary, the chemical reactions necessary for life, and more particularly the metabolisms of each living being, are effective in restricted temperature ranges, while external temperatures, in the air or in the water, vary enormously within of a day, a year, or even geographically. It's not for nothing that migratory birds fly to warmer regions in winter! Animals that winter or hibernate have chosen another strategy against the cold: since it makes them less efficient, they work less. Many other mechanisms are implemented by all species to adapt their temperature, as always in nature, in the most energy-efficient way possible. Thus, furs or plumages insulate the animals that wear them, transpiration cools plants and animals alike, and nests or burrows provide protection against external temperatures. Finally, behaviors, individual or collective, also play an essential role in animal thermoregulation. Reflecting the Sun so as not to heat up: the Sahara ants' thermoregulation Silver ants live in the Sahara Desert. They must protect themselves from the arid conditions that reign there: their body temperature must remain between 48°C and 51°C, while under the sun the ground temperature can exceed 70°C! Unlike many hot desert species, their strategy is not to live at night and hide during the day. How do they survive in such temperatures? Their hair offers them great protection. Thanks to their triangular shape, they reflect the majority of solar radiation received, which limits the heat provided by the Sun. The reflection is what gives them their pretty silver colour! In addition, the microstructure of these hairs allows good emissivity of infrared radiation, which effectively cools the ant. The structure of Sahara ant hairs has been reproduced to provide a surface with cooling properties. This new surface reflects more than 97% of solar radiation, which greatly limits its warming. In addition, the structure, like that of the silver ant's hairs, improves the emissivity of the surface: it therefore cools more effectively by radiation. The cooling power obtained is the highest to date for a microstructure, opening up interesting thermoregulation possibilities, whether it be for buildings or even satellites. Insulate like polar bear fur Polar bears are subjected to very low temperatures, as low as -40°C! Nevertheless, homeothermic animals manage to maintain a constant internal temperature in summer and winter. To help them do this, their fur is a great support: composed of numerous porous hairs, it creates an important barrier between the bear and the outside world. In fact, the air trapped in the hairs conducts very little heat (this is what is used in double glazing!). In this way, the temperature difference between the exterior of the fur, which remains very cold, and the interior, which must remain warm, is exacerbated. The polar bear's surface then emits little infrared, which limits the animal's loss of heat through radiation. An insulating textile has been developped using this structure. Made up of porous fibers, this textile is both light, resistant and thermally insulating. It thus makes it possible, like polar bear fur, to both maintain a temperature difference between the outside and the inside and to limit the emission of thermal radiation. Among other applications, it can then serve as an invisibility cloak for an infrared camera! A heat exchanger inspired by the human vascular system The human vascular system allows the transport within the body of nutrients for nutrition and gases for respiration. What is less known is that it also plays a role in our thermoregulation. Indeed, the exchange of matter is accompanied by heat exchanges, in order to keep the central temperature at 37°C no matter the external conditions. The hierarchical organisation of the blood vessel network, whose veins and arteries separate into increasingly numerous and small capillaries, allows efficient material and thermal exchanges. Microelectronic systems require effective thermoregulation in order not to overheat. The size of the components, increasingly smaller, requires that the efficiency of thermo-regulation systems be further improved. To do this, why not take inspiration from our own thermo-regulation? Thus, an algorithm making it possible to optimise the size and organisation of the channels of a heat exchanger was developed taking inspiration from the vascular system. The arrangement obtained makes it possible, in the tested case, to reduce the maximum temperature by 24°C compared to a classic organisation of parallel channels.

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

Biomimicry uses the ingenuity of the living world to inspire the technologies and services of the future. Bioxegy is Europe's pioneering biomimicry design and engineering company. Dare to innovate in bio-inspired R&D! Our biomimetic R&D expertise Bioxegy, expert and pioneer in biomimicry in France Up A cutting-edge biomimetic R&D expertise validated by our international industrial partners. Since 2018, Bioxegy has continually developed its unique expertise in biomimetic R&D , and thus has a methodology proven through more than 80 projects carried out with our industrial partners ! In order to promote the rapid development of efficient and tangible biomimetic solutions for our partners, our methodology is schematically divided into 4 “Phases” that accompany the rise in maturity of bio-inspired technology : from pre-concept to industrialisation. Bioxegy Biomimétisme Discover our expertise : PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3 PHASE 4 Pre B iomimetic Study Advanced Biomimetic Design Study Proof-of-Concept (POC), Experimental Project Proof-of-Concept (POC), Experimental Project PHASE 1 : Pre Biomimetic Study Objective - TRL 1 - 3 Phase 1 is often the first format of collaboration between Bioxegy and an industrial partner. The purpose is to resolve one or more industrial problems thanks to biomimetic pre-concepts and developmental approaches formulated by Bioxegy. It is then about selecting the most promising project for the development of a high-performance technological solution. Throughout Phase 1, Bioxegy familiarises itself with the specificities of its partner (products, constraints, industrial environment, etc.) and uses its expertise to provide possible solutions to the industrial problems submitted. Unfolding - 3 - 6 months In Phase 1, Bioxegy is able to carry out its work almost autonomously after the launch of the project. A mid-project workshop allows us to prioritise and select the most promising biomimetic avenues in consultation with our partner. Bioxegy then finely formulates a biomimetic pre-concept which will be developed in Phase 2. Common types of results The results at the end of Phase 1 can take different forms depending on the type of subjects covered and the needs of our partner: from a simple technical note supported by the latest work of scientific experts to pre-dimensioning validated by finite elements or CFD simulations. Pre Biomimetic Study Advanced Biomimetic Design Study Proof-of-Concept (POC), Experimental Project Proof-of-Concept (POC), Experimental Project PHASE 2 : Advanced Biomimetic Design Study Objective - TRL 3 - 4 Most often following a Phase 1, Phase 2 consists of continuing the development of an biomimetic technology that has been identified and considered promising. The objective of Phase 2 is to demonstrate and precisely characterise the performance of a biomimetic concept in the specific industrial case submitted by our partner. Unfolding - 4 - 12 mois The progress of Phase 2 depends on the type of expected results and the collaboration method collaboration with our partner. In particular, we have the expertise to be autonomous in modeling and simulation work, with workshops and steering committees organized as necessary. In the case of experimental studies, we can work directly with the laboratories and technicians of our partners, or in contact with third-party academic partners depending on the needs of the project. Common types of results Depending on the level of maturity at the start of the project and the type of technology considered, advanced design can take many different forms: analytical modeling, numerical simulations, algorithm development, chemical formulations, first prototypes, implementation of an experience plan, partner benchmark, etc. Pre Biomimetic Study Advanced Biomimetic Design Study Proof-of-Concept (POC), Experimental Project Proof-of-Concept (POC), Experimental Project PHASE 3 : Proof-of-Concept (POC), Projet Expérimental Objective - TRL 5 - 6 Phase 3 can follow various objectives depending on the projects, partners or industrial context. Usually it will consist of carrying out a proof of concept (POC) which are the first industrial demonstrators of a successful biomimetic concept. Unfolding - 3 - 18 mois The progress of a Phase 3 is extremely project-dependent and must be defined on a case-by-case basis with our partner. Bioxegy thus ensures the handover of the R&D work carried out and supports the industrialisation of the biomimetic concept. Pre Biomimetic Study Advanced Biomimetic Design St udy Proof-of-Concept (POC), Experimental Project Proof-of-Concept (POC), Experimental Project PHASE 4: Design Iteration and Industrialisation Phase 4 is considered on a case-by-case basis in order to support the scaling-up and industrialisation of technologies developed in previous Phases. Call on our expertise Through these 4 Phases, Bioxegy is able to support the rise in maturity of a technology throughout all its stages of development. We thus provide expertise that is complementary to yours in order to co-build your future innovations together and support you in your strategic areas of development: new technologies, incremental innovation, improvement of the user experience, eco-design, evolution of standards, etc. Our experience of the industry built alongside numerous partners, all sectors combined, allows us to evolve as autonomously as possible in order to limit the workload on your teams at best.
