Innovations in Furniture: 3D-Printed & Machine-Knitted Designs

3D printed furniture and accessories have recently filled the market due to their unique style and sustainability factors. Now, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have stepped up the 3D printing game by using machine knitting to create sophisticated, solid furniture pieces.

Transforming Elastic Cord Yarn into Furniture

The researchers use a combination of dense knitting techniques with strands of elastic cord yarn, creating solid furniture, and other 3D home accessories. This combination creates a unique, moldable composite material. Moreover, these knit products are lighter, more robust, and more cost-effective than many traditional furniture materials.

• The technique enables intricate details and customizable designs.
• The process is automated, resulting in less waste and a faster production cycle.
• The products are lightweight and can be flat-packed, reducing shipping costs.

A Revolution in Home Decor

The advent of this technology has opened up a whole new world for home decor, allowing users to have more flexibility and customization in their designs. Not only is this great news for manufacturers, but it also empowers individual homeowners to transform their living spaces.
