3 Structure moving All electronic as well as pneumatic components are housed waterproof inside the head. The entire structure is coated with silicon film. Both, tail fin and head are designed and manufactured using the latest technology, which is CAD and related numeric controlled equipment. The complex form was generated without any manual labour using highly sophisticated laser-sintering technology only. It may very well be that future challenges lie mainly in exploring and learning from nature’s amazingly versatile designs by harnessing cutting-edge technologies. However, while self-evident in many cases, nature’s solutions aren’t yet easy to imitate. By engaging in bionic matter, Festo wants to reach beyond its core expertise bringing to you the excitement for both, nature and technology. Moreover, this study provides an idea about the diversity of applications Festo components can be used in.
