Textile designer Tiffany Loy teamed up with the Digital Manufacturing and Design Centre (DManD) to explore advanced automated textile construction as a means of additive manufacturing.
The collaboration explored the construction of multi-material, pliable 3D forms, filling a gap in the current world of 3D printed options. Any material in the form of a pliable line can be woven or knitted into a 3D form, unlike 3D printing processes which are often restricted by the types of fusible materials used. Furthermore, textile construction methods allow material properties to be retained in the final product. With this starting point, Loy and the team at DManD explored an imagined future of a world built with lines.
This exhibition was organised by the DesignSingapore Council.
