Arapaima Fish Scale Design
thingiverse
Hierarchical structure of Arapaima scale, They live in piranha infested waters to combat these predators Arapaima Fish developed scales that can withstand the piranhas' bite force. Found to have a hard mineralized outer layer to resist penetration and a tough but flexible inner layer. The structure of the scale they have can become deformed when bitten by a piranha but not torn, broken or pierced protecting the fish from injury. Tried to model this after reading "Impact Resistant bioinspired materials by Susana M. Estrada H." looked interesting .
