Vertical Woven Objects

Vertical woven objects are 3D printed structures consisting of vertical pillars with yarns woven into them. Because they are woven vertically, they can be fabricated in various 3D shapes.

Vertical woven objects are made by a new form of 3D weaving.

By 3D printing pillars and weaving yarn in between them, 3D woven structured can be created.

These structures can feature a variety of weave patterns, including plain weave, 2x1 twill, 3x1 twill and satin.

..utilise multiple colour yarns,..

..be fabricated with a printed textile bottom to create baskets,..

,..and have non-developable curved surfaces.

Possible applications include lamps, vases, bags, baskets, and accessories.
