This article describes a fabrication technique that will allow for the modeling of structures based on those that exist in biological organisms.
"Living organisms provide inspiration for innovations in many different fields and for entirely different reasons. Energy is stored in a chemical form by plants with almost 100% efficiency. Animal muscle is an efficient mechanical motor capable of an exquisite degree of control. Transmission of information in the nervous system is more complex than in the largest telephone exchanges. And the problem-solving capabilities of a human brain greatly exceed those of the most powerful supercomputers. In this vein, biological species furnish numerous examples of structures exhibiting multifunctional properties."
