In this review, we covered a number of processes and methods for fabricating bioinspired materials, although they are not exhaustive. We observe that there is a significant overlap between techniques used in fabrication of bioinspired materials as compared to that of engineering and electronic materials. Thus, major advances in the field of bioinspired material fabrication are expected to occur simultaneously with advances in general manufacturing processes. From the perspective of engineered applications, the bioinspiration route appears to provide immense potential for innovation and efficiency. Further, it is expected to play a significant role in the growth of economies. The key highlights of this review are as follows:

Bioinspiration is developing novel structures and materials based on the information offered by biological systems and the millions of years of biological evolution and improvement. An aim to enhance biological system modeling and simulation has been accomplished to gather crucial structural qualities from nature used in novel bioinspired designs. On the other side, bio-inspiration does not strive to duplicate the designs of biological materials perfectly, but bio-mimicry does. Bioinspired research is a throwback to science’s classical roots, and a field focused on examining the exceptional functions that make certain organisms unique. Most researchers have documented these methodologies using pertinent real-world projects made with bioinspired designs. While certain technologies required by a problem-driven, bio-inspired design approach are complex and need extensive training, others are simple and intuitive [1].
