3D Printed Hybrid Textiles

3D printed hybrid textiles are textiles consisting of a yarn 'weft' sandwiched between two layers of 3D printed 'warp'. They can be printed into any shape and feature many printed layouts, enabling the fabrication of zero-waste garment patterns and interactive textiles.

A new type textile which combines yarn with 3D printing.
They are fabricated by sandwiching a network of yarns between two layers of 3D printed filament
The textiles can be printed in any 2D shape,..
..and feature various printed layouts.
All while having the tactile and aesthetic qualities of real yarn-based textiles
