Weaved. Programmable Textile – Modelling fabrics into three-dimensional structures

Category Members Processing People Posted on:

For the past few months, Tel-Aviv-based designer Dana Zelig has been experimenting with textiles and polymers to wonderful results. Exploring different kinds of polymers and different ways of applying them to fabric, the results of Dana’s experiments changed from week to week. Soon she will start producing costumed-mixed plastic sheets with strength and flexibility according to different needs.

With Weaved. Programmable Textile Dana is able to model fabrics into three-dimensional structures using physical-programmed plastic patterns. Following her experiments in physical programming with "Traces", a project we reported on last year, she decided to examine the possibility of applying plastic to fabrics, by means of pressing them together, allowing the heat to manipulate the plastic, and the manipulated plastic to effect the adjusted fabric.

F3 [Form From Function] – Playful and powerful 3D design using signed distance functions

Created by Reza Ali, F3, [Form From Function], is a playful and powerful 3D design app that enables you to live code 3D form, rapidly iterate on its design, and export for 3D printing, rendering and animation. F3 uses signed distance functions (SDFs) to build forms – designing 3D forms using 2D image cross sections.

Rec All – A puzzling universe of (multitouch) creatures

Created by Romain Cazier at ECAL, Rec All is an interpretation of the geometrical style puzzle games, widely popular on mobile. Taking some of this genre’s features, Romain designed a singular universe, where strange creatures with a cyclic behaviour are generated from a simple gesture.

Traces – Physical programming of freeform folding in soft matter

Created by Dana Zelig, Traces project explores the concept of programming everyday materials, a form of “physical programming” where objects are “made to act” on some form following specific instructions.
