When looking for ways to strengthen a material, nature often provides the best answers. Researchers at Purdue University have used the mantis shrimp as inspiration - two years ago, they published research covering their use of 3D printing to develop new ultra-strong materials inspired by the rainbow-colored mantis shrimp. In their recent work, the researchers studied the mechanism behind just how mantis shrimp wields its powerful club without permanently damaging itself, and the design strategy, aiming to develop a new class of super-tough materials. via Tumblr 3D printed composite materials inspired by Mantis Shrimp powerful club weapon
