With more than 10 years of experience in researching bionic lightweight constructions and the growth processes of nature, we have learned that natures complex structures are not directly designed. Only during growth it becomes clear how an organism ideally adapts to its individual boundary conditions of its environment. The variability in growth is based on a clearly defined set of rules. Nature has evolved an amazing solution to implement these rules into organisms. Nature developed the DNA.

Manufacturing techniques are getting better and better. 3D printing pushes the limits of what is possible even further. For the first time, we can produce structures whose complexity hardly influences production costs. In component development, however, this complexity leads to immensely increasing costs and development times. We are convinced that we must stop designing components this way. We need to start producing components automatically based on defined rules and regulations. We need technical DNA.
