Biomimetic (from bio, life and mimetic imitation) is a new science based on the study of models, systems, processes and natural elements, for the purpose of imitating them, and then find practical solutions to human necessities, with the condition that those solutions are sustainable. After 3.8 million years of evolution, natural solutions are innovative, efficient, and function inside a perfect balance with the environment, situation that the human race is still from reaching. Biomimetic means to copy to life. In order to get this, scientist from multiple knowledge fields, have started the development of many projects with the intention of copying natural processes. This idea can appear radical to a number of people, however, actually it is already a new concept employed by different organizations worldwide for the manufacturing of goods and services.
