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.

In a pre-print paper titled ‘Automatic Machine Knitting of 3D Meshes’, CMU’s Vidya Narayanan, Lea Albaugh, Jessica Hodgins, Stelian Coros, and Jim McCann detail a methodology for converting ...

Meet InverseKnit, a new tool developed by MIT that lets anybody design a pattern on a computer to 3D print a knitted garment. The future of knitting is being developed by MIT. LOGIN ...

3D knitting, as the tech version is called, was inspired by the 3D-printing revolution and aspires to a similar goal: to be the one piece of manufacturing technology in everyone's home.

3D knitting The wild, neural network-powered future of knitting Meet InverseKnit, a new tool developed by MIT that lets anybody design a pattern on a computer to 3D print a knitted garment.

3D Printer for Knitting Lets You Make a Sweater Without Picking Up Needles. ... The text, images, and patterns that adorn the creations are limited only by the user's imagination.

Rothy’s 3D knitting machines have thousands of needles that race back and forth and knit the yarn into the shoe’s uppers; a 3D printer, by comparison, creates parts layer by layer.

The pattern instructions were extracted from knitwear manufacturer Shima Seiki’s KnitPaint software, while the photos were produced both by knitting a subset of 1,044 real-world patches and ...

The upholstery fabric is 3D-knitted – a fabrication method which combines digital pattern-making with the knitting process. The process replicates 3D printing's ability to scale and multiply a ...

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 ...

“Solid knitting is a new technique to fabricate dense, firm objects via knitting. The objects are built up layer by layer in the style of 3D printing but are held together by intertwined strands ...
