Biomimetic Water Panel

Create a single-piece 3D printable biomimetic atmospheric water harvesting panel. Dimensions: 100 mm × 100 mm × approximately 5–7 mm. The panel must have three integrated functional regions: 1. WATER CAPTURE: Create many small rounded and gradually tapered raised structures distributed across the upper surface. These structures should increase surface area and provide curved regions favorable for atmospheric water condensation and droplet formation. 2. WATER TRANSPORT: Connect the raised structures with a hierarchical network of shallow curved grooves. Small grooves must merge into larger grooves, forming a branching pattern inspired by leaf venation. All major grooves should progressively converge toward the lower edge of the panel. 3. WATER COLLECTION: At the bottom edge, create one continuous elongated collection gutter connected to the main grooves. Add a small circular outlet opening on one side of the gutter. The entire surface should have a slight slope toward the collection gutter so gravity assists droplet movement. The geometry must create a continuous functional pathway: CONDENSATION → DROPLET COALESCENCE → DRAINAGE → COLLECTION. Use smooth rounded transitions and avoid sharp edges, extremely thin structures, floating geometry, or disconnected parts. The design should be a single watertight solid suitable for resin 3D printing and STL export. Prioritize functional biomimetic geometry over decorative complexity.
