Whitepaper - Bio-intelligence in Additive Manufacturing: Strategies to support industrial adoption of bio-intelligent AM technologies

The whitepaper series ‘Bio-intelligence in Additive Manufacturing’ reviews the ongoing scientific, industrial and policy initiatives shaping bio-intelligent manufacturing. It synthesises its current state, identifies enabling technologies and situates the European Horizon Europe ‘Twin Transition’ initiatives within a wider roadmap toward intelligent, circular and adaptive additive manufacturing (AM) systems. The whitepaper series contributes to a broader understanding of how biological, digital and material innovations are converging to define the next generation of manufacturing. ‘Bio-intelligence in Additive Manufacturing’ is brought to you by ORGANIC, an EU-funded project set to boosting the biological transformation of AM processes by integrating bio-design, bio-based materials and bio-intelligent manufacturing into Fused Granulate Fabrication (FGF), a specific AM technology. The series consists of four separate publications, which detail• Why we need sustainable manufacturing and regenerative design• Why conventional additive manufacturing is limited and lacks integration of bio-inspiration and bio-basedmaterials• How to integrate bio-inspiration and bio-based materials into AM and why it is worth doing so• Strategies to support industrial adoption of bio-intelligent AM technologies --- ORGANIC is funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme, grant agreement No 101178127-1.
