近年來資訊產品常見到應用仿生設計來詮釋產品外觀造型的例子。對設計師而言，仿生設計是創意發想的工具之一，可提供新的造形創意來源。但是針對設計師進行產品設計時如何採用仿生設計的研究卻不多。本研究先歸納仿生應用於產品設計之原則，進一步再以個案訪談的方式，針對設計師將資訊產品應用仿生設計的情形進行調查，研究主要發現包括有：(1)設計師以仿生設計作為產品設計構想發展手法的頻率頻率約為四成。(2)設計公司之設計師與企業內部設計部門之設計師 對採用仿生設計之優缺點看法有差異。(3)女性設計師應用仿生設計之頻率較男性設計師高，顯示女性設計師可能較男性設計師更為偏好應用仿生進行設計。(4)大部分的設計師認為應用仿生設計作為產品設計構想發展之被接受度高，其原因主要為仿生設計造形概念產品發展時與客戶間較容易產生互動，可使客戶對產品的印象更為深刻。(5)設計公司之設計師應用仿生設計作為產品設計夠發想的理由主要為該產品之類別適合使用。 企業設計部門則以目標族群或市場喜好為首要因素。(6)仿生設計可歸納為仿生造形設計、仿生運動設計及仿生構造設計三類。設計師在進行仿生設計時以仿生造形設計較常見，在造形構想上常應用的種類包括有生物、自然物質、以及人類文化認知具有生命力之角色三種。

Bionic design is getting more and more popular in the interpretation of information product design in recent years. This strategy serves as a tool for idea generation, offering new sources of product form inspiration. However, studies regarding how designers adopt such a method in product design are rare. In this study, principles of applying bionic method in product design were first induced. Furthermore, a face-to-face interview was conducted to investigate how designers adopt bionic approach in their designing process. The major findings from the survey are listed below：(1) Generally speaking, there are 40% in terms of frequency that designers would adopt bionic method to generate idea.(2)For the advantages and disadvantages of applying bionic method in product design, there exist differences among the viewpoints of designers from in-house design department and design firms. (3)Female designers will use bionic design method more frequently than male designers, indicating that fermale designers have a higher degree of preference toward bionic design. (4) Most designers consider it is feasible to adopt bionic approach in generating ideas in that it is easy for them to communicate with the clinets using bionic concepts in presenting proposals and to impact a deeper impression on their clients. (5) The main reason why designers in design houses use bionic approach in idea generation is that this method is suitable for the category of information products. Designers in the designdepartment of enterprises, on the other hand, will primarily take the preferences of the target population or market into consideration. (6) Bionic design can be further categorized into bionic form design, bionic action design and bionic structural design. In designing activities, biomorphic form design is most frequently adopted, from which living creatures, natural objects, and organisms in human cultures are generally covered.
