You Have to Grow Wefts to Fold Them
arXiv.org
15 Aug 2024
Abstract
Knitting turns a one dimensional yarn into a highly ramified
three-dimensional structure. As a method of additive manufacturing, it holds
promise for a new class of lightweight, ultrastrong materials. Here we present
a purely geometric model to predict the three-dimensional folding of knitted
fabrics made only of the two traditional stitches, knit and purl.
