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.

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 ...

In this case, the knitting needles take the place of a 3D printer's extruder, and the yarn the place of the plastic filament. OpenKnit isn't fully autonomous yet; ...
