The main objective of the research was to determine the possibilities and limitations of digital design and digital fabrication with 3D printing of a cell prototype. The work was structured in 3 stages: Rationale, Materials and Logistics, and Experimentation. The Rationale stage consisted of reviewing the literature on the concepts: Prototype, Bionics, Parametric Design, Digital Fabrication and 3D Printing. The Materials and Logistics stage consisted of the presentation and classification into categories of materials and the logistics that were used. The Experimentation stage consisted of 3 phases: determination of the structural characteristics of the fruit peels; determination of the shape of the cell from the structural characteristics of the fruit peels and; choice of 3D printing digital manufacturing technology. The main result of the research was that digital technologies -MEV Jeol JSM-7000F microscope, Rhinoceros 5.0 software, Grasshopper software -allow to observe and design a cell in a complex way inspired by the natural structures found in the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
