3D printed conch shells could be basis of stronger helmets & body armor, MIT study finds

May 29, 2017 | By Benedict Researchers at MIT have taken a close look at conch shells to discover how they are so resistant to impact, recreating the complex organic structures using a 3D printer. The researchers say that artificial conch-like structures could be used to create stronger helmets and body armor.
