Advances in digital machine knitting are leading to new and improved applications. For instance, a programmable additive manufacturing method can produce smart textiles and complex 3D structures, all while reducing fabric waste and manual post-processing 1. if done correctly. But that is the problem: few people know how to do it correctly. There is a lack of expertise in knitted software design and manufacturing, meaning many of these emerging applications are not successfully developed. It’s why Kui Wu, research scientist at Tencent America.
