Last week, I trained to program and operate our Stoll flatbed knitting machine. I am excited about the potential of leveraging our existing twisting and braiding equipment to start making custom, functional textiles for our customers. If anyone needs assistance building a flat-knit product, please feel free to reach out. I want to give special thanks to Paul Loveman at Knitengine.com and everyone at the Manufacturing Solutions Center | Testing | Prototyping | Furniture Structural for an amazing week of learning. #knitting #Stoll #Flatbed #Textiles #Training

In this sample, we use polymer deposition to build a textile composite that articulates in two directions. Check out the video clip: https://lnkd.in/e6yRUfd2 This sample shows parametric polymer deposition to create articulation geometry embedded within a dual-layer textile composite. The tension introduced to the planar textile distorts in the z-axis. #textile #3dprinting #robotics #parametric

📱Introducing YouX: Adaptive Interfaces for Creative Tools Over the past month, I’ve been thinking about how AI could enable a more personal relationship with design tools. It takes a significant amount of time to learn how to use tools like Photoshop and Illustrator, yet I often find myself searching youtube for how to accomplish a specific task. What if you could communicate your objectives, and the interface was built to serve these needs. YouX introduces a generative interface that adapts to the user’s objectives, streamlining the creative process, and facilitating a more goal-oriented editing experience. Simply prompt YouX with the changes you’d like to make, and interface blocks are generated, enabling you to achieve the visual result you desire. The full project can be viewed here: https://lnkd.in/ejgHqDrj I’ve been thinking about how a similar framework might be applied to 3d design tools. I’d love to hear what you think 🙂 #generativeai #generativedesign #ai #designtool #creativetools #creativetechnology #adobe #figma #genai #openai OpenAI

Another experiment for articulated textile structures! This time we are using spacer mesh with direct deposition to make parametrically driven articulation. #experimental #textiles #parametric #softrobotics

We are sharing an early proof of concept macro structures for 2-layer-articulated textiles we have been building. This structure utilizes polyester-elastane fabric and direct polymer deposition to create a functional articulated fabric. We are in the preliminary stages of exploring the capabilities and applications of this textile. For those interested in following our progress, we'll be posting updates on our YouTube channel.

Bringing a new material into the footwear world is a rollercoaster, and it's quite fulfilling to see one of your projects come to life. Many thanks to all involved. Special shout outs to Matteo Padovani, Maureen Lee, Shane Jochum, Kassie Miller, Robert Leimer, Tino Meyer, PhD and the sample studio for all the help over the years. #myceilum
