This study examines how designers can help business and science become mutually responsive to each other for the acceptability, sustainability and societal desirability of novel bio-materials used in additive manufacturing and contributing to the circular economy. The paper presents the concept of responsible research & innovation (RRI) which aims for mutual responsiveness between scientists and other stakeholders about the future impacts of innovation. Such a dialogue presents challenges when the science is still uncertain and values conflict, but a scientific-designer approach can support RRI through the creation of physical artefacts. This creates a dialogue with the potential to integrate or knot together differing values and understandings.

这项研究探讨了设计师如何才能帮助商业和科学界相互响应，以实现用于增材制造的新型生物材料的可接受性，可持续性和社会需求，并为循环经济做出贡献。本文提出了负责任的研究与创新（RRI）的概念，旨在使科学家和其他利益相关者之间就创新的未来影响进行相互响应。当科学仍然不确定且价值冲突时，这种对话提出了挑战，但是科学设计者的方法可以通过创建人工制品来支持RRI。这产生了对话，有可能将不同的价值观和理解融合在一起或打成一片。
