Description

In the evolving design world, the fusion of 3D printing technology and textile materials has opened new horizons. This study delves deep into the creation of self-shaping textiles, which possess dynamic and bistable properties, making them ideal for tensile structures. By leveraging 3D printing technology, these textiles are not unique in their deformation abilities but also have the potential to morph their shapes in response to environmental triggers. The scope of these technological strides is extensive, encompassing fields like textile design, fashion, and architecture.
