Plain Weave Fabric

Beschreibung

I modelled a reproduction of the architecture of plain weave fabric. This was a research project I did some time ago to try to understand at what scale it was possible to push commercial SLA printers to print fabric. It can also be printed with SLS or FDM tech, albeit at larger scales. There are two files - one intended for SLA and one for FDM. This is meant to print with flexible materials, its purpose is to be as close as possible to real fabric. Therefore, it is not rigid and made up of multiple parts. Its use is more educational and experimental/research oriented. I'm sure it can be patterned to create bigger and more functional prints, but I kept this small so it would have the best chance of printing success. I share this with the hope that it can inspire someone in the community to try a crazy new project or dive deeper into the subject of reproducing fabrics with 3D printing. I have other fabric designs I will be sharing down the line if people find this interesting. For now, that is all. Let me know if you have any questions, I will be glad to answer. Cheers!
