N2 - Today's computing capacity, however, has been far more than two decades ago, which only could convert 2D sketches to 3D models. Therefore, how to utilize the ability of generating 3D derivative model from natural inspirations for forming product shapes is the main problem of this research. In order to investigate the problem of this research, therefore, the objectives of the research can be divided into two stages: 1. to analyze principles from natural objects, components, or/and structures; 2. to simulate and create innovative shapes by applying computer 3D software, such as Rhino and Grasshopper, based on natural principles for developing new product designs. At the end of this study, with computer 3D derivative abilities and with the technologies of 3D-printing, the results of this paper will propose some generative product forms by simulating and inspiriting from natural creatures.
