Fabbing Fabrics - Fractal Bracelet

A 3D version of the 3rd iteration Hilbert curve fabbed by mathematician Henry Segerman turns out to be so flexible that it can be used as a bracelet.

You may have seen the postcard magic trick, that lets you walk right through a postcard using only fractal mathematics.

With a 4th iteration 3D Hilbert curve, you may now also walk right through the center of the 3cm dice created by shapeway user Srjskam.

Fabbing Fabrics - Knitwork Bracelet

User Magic on Shapeways created 3d-printed flexible bracelets based on textile structures.

The knitwork inspired bracelet is made of several closed loops (one for each course) interlocking to form a stockinette-stitch-like structure.

A lot of beautiful photos of the bracelet can be found in Magic's post on shapeways

Magic's other design is based on the Scoubidou technique used for creating friendship bracelets. By intermeshing two strands in what is known as the Square Knot he obtains a highly flexible object.

Wearable Triangle Meshes

Mary Huang and Jenna Fizel, the artists and geek girls behind continuum fashion, have created a processing sketch, that let's the user draw triangle meshes on the plane, which are magically turned into wearable 3d meshes.


The current version of d.Dress UI relies on Javascript+HTML5 rather than Processing.

Meshes are saved in STL format. The STL files are interpreted by thingiview.js and rendered via pre3d.

Knithacking with Python

Becky Stern has created a very good instruction video accompanying the decent online tutorial of Lady Ada. To transfer your images to your brother kh-930 you need Python (a free and open source programming language) and Lady Ada's Python knitting_machine tools.

With this step by step instruction you can now take control of your knitting machine even if you don't pass as a knitting knerd or geek girl according to the k2g2 personality test.
