The high tech science behind 3D knitting (yes knitting) Written by Greg Nichols, Contributing Writer April 4, 2018 at 2:21 a.m. PT Your grandma's pastime could soon be a game changing trend in the ...
Ordinarily, programming an industrial knitting machine to knit a certain type of item is quite a complex process. As a result, they're generally not used to create one-offs. That could change ...
Carnegie Mellon researchers have created a method that generates knitting patterns for arbitrary 3D shapes, opening the possibility of “on-demand knitting.” Think 3D printing, but softer.
“Solid knitting is a new technique to fabricate dense, firm objects via knitting. The objects are built up layer by layer in ...
Building a 3D knitting machine To bring this concept into reality, Hirose is working under James McCann, an associate professor in the Robotics Institute and leader of the Carnegie Mellon Textiles ...
We’ve seen our fair share of interesting knitting hacks here at Hackaday. There has been a lot of creative space explored while mashing computers into knitting machines and vice versa, but fo… ...
Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Floor Skrabanja has created a collection of seats with single-piece 3D-knitted upholstery that needs no gluing or stitching, so can easily be deconstructed.
3D printing is great if you need to create something made of plastic or even metal or ceramic out of thin air. But what if you want something fuzzier and warmer? Something, like say, a hand-knit ...
3D printing socks isn’t really a thing yet. You’d end up with scratchy plastic garments that irritate your feet no end. You can easily 3D print all kinds of nifty little mechanisms, tho… ...
3D knitting lets Ford make seats from one giant piece of fabric, instead of stitching together up to 40 individual bits. This technique saves time, reduces waste, and allows for more customization.
