The furniture of the future could be made from nothing more than two long strands of yarn. A prototype manufacturing machine developed at Carnegie Mellon University is transforming traditional textile ...

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, though, ...

If you find 3D printers to be just a little too coldly futuristic, this contraption might be more to your liking. Scientists from Cornell University have created a machine that knits solid 3D objects ...

Knitting may soon move beyond sweaters and scarves. A team of researchers at Cornell and Carnegie Mellon University has built a prototype knitting machine that can create solid, three-dimensional ...

We’ve seen our fair share of interesting knitting hacks here at Hackaday. There has been a lot of creative space explored while mashing computers into knitting machines and vice versa, but for the ...

A research team from Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University has developed a prototype knitting machine that can build arbitrarily rigid three-dimensional structures by layering stitches ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – A new prototype of a knitting machine creates solid, knitted shapes, adding stitches in any direction – forward, backward and diagonal – so users can construct a wide variety of shapes ...

At last, a use for that industrial knitting machine you bought at a yard sale! Carnegie Mellon researchers have created a method that generates knitting patterns for arbitrary 3D shapes, opening the ...
