Plants and Animals as Concept Generators for the Development of Biomimetic Cable Entry Systems

Many animals and plants have high potential to serve as concept generators for developing biomimetic materials and structures. We present some ideas based on structural and functional properties of plants and animals that led to the development of two types ofbiomimetic cable entry systems. Those systems have been realized on the level of functional demonstrators.

设计和标准巧妙搭配

机器越来越重视设计已成为一种趋势，在明显降低设备成本的同时，操作更加方便以及空间需求进一步减少至关重要（图1）。为了生产这样的机器，需要将价格便宜的标准部件与个性化设计元素结合起来，一个现有的解决方案指出了未来的发展方向。
