We propose an approach to enabling exploratory creativity in digital fabrication through the
use of grain spaces. In material processes,“grain” describes underlying physical properties …

Machine knitting is a well-established fabrication technique for complex soft objects, and
both companies and researchers have developed tools for generating machine knitting …

Computational mediation can unlock access to existing creative fabrication tools. By
outfitting an otherwise purely mechanical hand-operated knitting machine with lightweight …

We propose an approach for generating crochet instructions (patterns) from an input 3D
model. We focus on Amigurumi, which are knitted stuffed toys. Given a closed triangle mesh …

Programming low-level controls for knitting machines is a meticulous, time-consuming task
that demands specialized expertise. Recently, there has been a shift towards automatically …

Knitting machines can fabricate complex fabric structures using robust industrial fabrication
machines. However, machine knitting's full capabilities are only available through low-level …

Field-aligned parametrization is a method that maps a scalar function onto a surface, such
that the gradient vector of the scalar function matches the input vector field. Using this idea …

We introduce solid knitting, a new fabrication technique that combines the layer-by-layer
volumetric approach of 3D printing with the topologically-entwined stitch structure of knitting …

Illusion-knit fabrics reveal distinct patterns or images depending on the viewing angle. Artists
have manually achieved this effect by exploiting" microgeometry," ie, small differences in …

The essential purpose of this research is to exploit and innovate a yarn-level relaxation
deformation method for weft-knitted stitches. Each loop formed by knitting yarns was taken …
