Dragon Scale
by Lena Hagenauer · Published on October 27 2026

These dragon-inspired scales were designed parametrically using Rhino and Grasshopper. Their size, shape, and arrangement can be adjusted to create different patterns and textures. The scales are 3D printed directly onto stretched fabric, combining rigid PLA structures with a flexible textile base. This creates a textured surface inspired by dragon skin, with potential applications in costumes and wearable designs.
