Ugears Mechanical butterfly

Butterfly - 161 Components

Like everything in life, the butterfly undergoes the often inscrutable world of metamorphosis before it blooms: everything evolves. Movement is thus the goal of all living beings, which natural science describes through the laws of kinetics. Humans appear to be both spectators and technical imitators, attempting to replicate the laws of biomechanics through models.

One of these biomechanical synergies is called Butterfly and comes from UGEARS, the brand manufacturer of retro-futuristic small artworks. This model kit is a 161-piece marvel that bridges nature and mechanics. With the help of a rubber band motor, the flying butterfly can not only flap its wings but also move its legs and antennae. The synthesis of fine craftsmanship and technology, which serves as a visual aid for steampunk, is thus much more than a mere replica. Nature, accordingly, wants to be understood and can function as a semi-open observation site with its skeletal design. Here, the focus is not on appearance but on the function of flying, the principles of which modern aviation technology has adapted from nature.
