For decades, 3D preforms have promised efficiency in struc- tural design and fabrication of composites. Those who make them could deliver to molders a tailored, net-shape reinforcement with fiber only ...

If you find 3D printers to be just a little too coldly futuristic, this contraption might be more to your liking. Scientists from Cornell University have created a machine that knits solid 3D objects ...

The furniture of the future could be made from nothing more than two long strands of yarn. A prototype manufacturing machine developed at Carnegie Mellon University is transforming traditional textile ...

At last, a use for that industrial knitting machine you bought at a yard sale! Carnegie Mellon researchers have created a method that generates knitting patterns for arbitrary 3D shapes, opening the ...

Meet InverseKnit, a new tool developed by MIT that lets anybody design a pattern on a computer to 3D print a knitted garment. This 3D-Knit Chair Is Made From A Single Piece Of Technical Fabric It ...

A research team from Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University has developed a prototype knitting machine that can build arbitrarily rigid three-dimensional structures by layering stitches ...

A tiny backyard shed in the regional Victorian town of Mount Macedon has become an unlikely home for the very latest robotic Japanese knitting technology. The latest 3D knitting machine from ...
