3D printing of knitted textiles has been used as a structure for complex architecture. This cuts down on material, labor and waste, and simplifies the construction process for complex shapes. A double ...

The heart of the four metre tall curved concrete shell is knitted. The structure's formwork is a textile supported by a steel cable-net. The prototype KnitCandela marks the first application that this ...

3D knitting isn’t just for clothes or shoes; it’s potentially the future of furniture. Even Ikea is getting into the game. This year, Layer–a design studio based in London–is releasing the “Tent” ...

A process for the rapid manufacturing of seamless, three-dimensional contoured spacer textiles, 3D-Knit from Kobleder GmbH is a one-step knitting process that can create various profiles and shapes.

After 3D-printing houses and buildings, the future tech might next enable us to 3D-knit entire buildings, as demonstrated by researchers. A team from ETH Zurich has created a method that enables them ...

Knitted fabrics are hierarchically structured materials exhibiting a complex set of structure-property-behavior relations driven by yarn-level interactions. Compared to other materials such as ...

Using a process more familiar to the footwear industry (like the JS Shoe), Ikea is introducing its first piece of 3D-knit furniture — a chair. High-end design firms have begun to play with 3D knit ...

The MAPICC 3D project (2011-2016) realized a process capable of producing net-shape preforms from topology-optimized, high-performance structural 3D thermoplastic textile composites. The final product ...

3D Knitted Furniture comprises fully-fashioned sofa upholstery made from a single yarn, designed by Studio Skrabanja. The furniture is made with minimal amount of textiles in production and maximum ...

If you consider yourself a master of the yarn but have grown tired of knitting socks, sweaters, and scarves, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Textiles Lab are about to breath new life into ...

The formwork is made of a knitted textile: KnitCandela. (Video: ETH Zurich / Block Research Group) The heart of the four metre tall curved concrete shell is knitted. The structure’s formwork is a ...
