Figure 5. Mechanical designs for bioinspired soft composites. (A) Design and printing of various honeycomb structures using SiC-filled epoxy materials^[101]. (B) Microstructural design of samples with circular defects using 3D magnetic printing that can program the orientation of stiff platelets^[105]. (C) Snapshots displaying deformation and fracture mechanisms for a 3D-printed specimen with a brick block-like material layout^[111,112]. (D) Design of material arrangement in a conch shell-inspired structure and the mechanisms of crack propagation in the structures^[117]. (E) Schematic of a two-component dispenser and a printed hand-like structure with gradient materials^[120]. (F) Design and print of a limb-mimic structure using gradient digital light processing^[121].
