- Solid Knitting
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
We introduce solid knitting, a new fabrication technique combining the layer-by-layer volumetric approach of 3D printing with the topologically entwined stitch structure of knitting to produce solid 3D objects. We present a solid knitting machine, a design tool using a volumetric block structure, and a low-level language to control the machine.
