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 ...

We’re all about big machines that build things for us – laser cutters, CNC mills, and 3D printers are the machines de rigueur for Hackaday. Too often we overlook the softer sides of fabrication that ...

There have been a few posts on Hackaday over the years involving knitting, either by modifying an old Brother knitting machine to incorporate modern hardware, or by building a 3D printed knitting ...

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 ...

Computerized knitting machines have proved a boon for the knitwear industry. Systems like Nike’s Flyknit and Shima Seiki’s Wholegarment are designed to minimize labor, curtail production time and pare ...

BOSTON (WHDH) - Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working on new software that will allow anyone to customize knitted designs. And once the designs are complete, a machine ...

Before 3D printing, CNC routing, laser cutting and the tools of ubiquitous “making,” there was yarn and needle. For centuries, the earliest makers knitted things into being. Blankets, sweaters, gloves ...

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 ...

Design a piece of clothing on the screen, press the "knit" button, sit back, and relax. The "Kniterate" machine will make knitting a whole lot easier. It was developed by Gerard Rubio in London.
