About This Collection

The design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modeled on biological entities and processes.  

"Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies. The goal is to create products, processes, and policies—new ways of living—that are well-adapted to life on earth over the long haul. The core idea is that nature has already solved many of the problems we are grappling with. Animals, plants, and microbes are the consummate engineers. After billions of years of research and development, failures are fossils, and what surrounds us is the secret to survival." Biomimicry Institute.

Better Surfaces Through Nature (and Lasers!): Using Nano Textures to Create Functional Surfaces

April 12, 2023

Inspired by millions of years of natural evolution, Fusion Bionic harnesses the surface properties of plants and insects to create advanced functional surface technology. Their laser technology engraves micro and nano textures onto materials, efficiently mimicking nature's solutions and outperforming traditional methods.

For instance, lotus leaves repel water and dirt, while moth eyes are naturally anti-reflective. By mimicking these structures, Fusion Bionic optimizes materials for eyeglasses, smartphones, solar panels, vehicles, and electronic connectors, reducing energy and chemical use.
