This 4 models are the frustule parts of Ellerbeckia arenaria. Ellerbeckia arenaria is a diatom species that lives in freshwater habitats. Diatoms are algae that build up silica structures on their own. Because of its fascinating structures, one can learn much from this creature. Their interlocking devices may inspire engineers, architects and even fashion designers.
The E. arenaria model consists of four parts. Part 1 is the epivalve of the diatom. Part 2 resembles the valvocopulae or first girdle band. The hypovalve of the diatom is represented with part 3 and part 4, which completes the set as the second girdle band, also known as the copula of the frustule. When designing E. arenaria the portions between the radius of the diatom frustule and the structures of the frustule, for example, the zip-like structure between the epivalve and the valvocopulae of E. arenaria, can not be respected because this would lead to an enormous model or too small structures to be printable. Therefore, a disproportionate design was chosen. The model is simplified but has the main details of the real frustules.
