This research explores the materialisation of 3D printed ‘textiles’ that make use of knit’s primary structures to create seamless textile forms. This research builds upon the author’s previous research into 3D printed textile-based structures by pioneering the use of EOS’ Fine Detail Resolution (FDR) technology. These pieces exhibit the properties of traditional knitted textile structures along with the mechanical properties of the PA11 material used to print with. This research shows the potential for such pieces to be adopted by the medical field for use such as stents or customized support material.
