Bones for synthetic life

Supposing that we can create an entire synthetic being, what material would be best to make its bones of attending to:

• Weight
• Strength
• Durability
• Reparability

Let's set some scenarios:

Case 1:

The synthetic being is an animal that should be able to reproduce and grow, so it must be able to process food into "bone" material.

The food could be part of another synthetic animal or plant... (in that case the second one must be able to produce it from the current Earth ecosystem)

I'm especially interested in the weight/strength ratio in order to make the biggest flying animal posible.

Case 2:

Replacement for human body, this is done when the original body is not functional (consciousness is "moved" to the new body) any needed nutrient to repair tissues is provided in its refined form but the organism must be able to use it in a reasonable way (heat a metal to 800 degrees is not reasonable)
