The company chose to focus on the structure of the arteries of leaves from the dicotyledon family and designed a pattern that mimics this structure of arteries, in order to improve cooling performance, reduce cycle times, and save the energy needed to create a plastic unit in XNUMXD printing.

The system was designed according to the biomimicry methodology. In fact every functional aspect of the system was designed inspired by another organism. For example, the water storage component of the system was developed inspired by plants living in dry habitats, such as drought-resistant succulents, such as the crystalline ice plant seen in the photo.
