I’m curious how the flexibility of the reformed fabric lasts over dressing/undressing cycles, garment care, and long term storage in a closet. If I’m not careful I can easily stretch out a well made alpaca wool sweater if I remove it too carelessly (from experience!). I wonder how fussy this is.

Also would like to know more about the machine. Many garments are knitted as tube-like structures just look at circular knitting needles, where does this differ and how?



It doesn't seem like this is intended to be reusable or even useful.

It's just a college design project that gets the attention of MIT branding.


Maybe so, but the 6-axis machine appears to be sitting in the front window of a store on Newbury St. (which is Boston’s high-dollar shopping area).


its like making nylon stockings but a dress, there is a video that shows the process that would answer a lot of your questions on the site near the bottom of the page


Ah very cool thanks!
