After a reminder of the Tom Thumb algorithm, originally designed for the self-replication of two-dimensional (2D) loops, this paper presents its application to the hardware implementation of 3D self-replicating structures. This self-replication process is achieved by translation and transcription of a configuration information in a three-dimensional data and signals cellular automaton (DSCA). The corresponding hardware implementation takes place in the BioCube, a new 3D reconfigurable electronic medium with input, output and computation abilities. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
