The carapace in arthropods, along with the remainder of the exoskeleton, would be made mostly of a hard long-chain polymer protein called chitin. Crustaceans further harden this through biomineralization with calcium carbonate.

What are non-arthropods?
well i don't know about non arthropods but this is what i know about arthropods:- Arthropods have jointed legs and a head and segmented body parts called the thorax and abdomen. An arthropod's body is covered by a shell or a hard outer skin called an exoskeleton. It is made of a material called chitin. The exoskeleton has a special top layer, the cuticle, which is thick and tough. In crustaceans, the exoskeleton is sometimes called the carapace and hides the segmented body parts. by kira 7G
