英文摘要	This paper shows that a spider is a spinning master and a printing expert as well. Firstly, a spider can produce different types of silks by controlling the spinning process, which is correlated with silk properties. Understanding the natural spinning process can greatly help for the improvement of artificial spinning pro-cesses to control the products??? quality. Here we show the periodic motion of muscles connected to the spinnerets plays an important role in controlling the spinning process and the silk properties, which leads to a zero resistance of the viscous flow in the gland duct and ordered macromolecules in the silk. We antic-ipate this finding can promote a sophisticated study of other animals??? spinning properties and bio-inspired design of artificial spinning processes. Secondly, the spider web is not weaved, but it is printed, the process is similar to the modern 3-D printing technology. Finally, a spider-inspired 4-D printing technology is suggested.
