Multi-axis 3D printing with curved layers! 🖨️ Researchers from the The University of Manchester introduced a neural network-based computational pipeline as a representation-agnostic slicer for multi-axis 3D printing. Traditional 3D printing works like stacking pancakes, flat layers on top of each other. 🥞 This often requires temporary support structures that get thrown away after printing, wastes material, and creates weaker parts. Multi-axis 3D printing can print along curved paths that follow the object's natural shape. This eliminates support structures and makes stronger parts. But figuring out these curved paths is mathematically complex, you need to avoid collisions, respect what the printer can physically do, and optimize for strength. The neural network solves this automatically. It learns to create a "field" around the object, then extracts curved printing paths from this field. Because the entire process is differentiable (translation for non-math specialists, meaning you can optimize it end-to-end), the AI can directly optimize for manufacturing goals like "no support structures needed" and "make it as strong as possible."

part of the traditional block printing process. The fabric is carefully fixed and aligned, then printed with carved wooden blocks or stencils to create repeating patterns. It’s a slow, detailed method that requires precision, but the result is a unique textile with handmade character.

KADOMA Great news for Zimbabwe's economy. David Whitehead Textiles, reopened by President President of Zimbabwe in 2022, is thriving. They're producing large amounts of fabric such as mutton cloth, and 400 tonnes of fabric a month. The fabric is transferred to their Chegutu factory for sewing into different type of clothes. They are employing hundreds, and aiming to hire more soon #DavidWhitehead

This is excellent, Victor Verdugo! 😍 Victor V. created this #Houdini exploration to depict the "waste we leave." He used Cloth and ShapeMatch constraints from Vellum. Victor is a 3D Motion designer who either animates 2D designs or creates 3D pieces from scratch.

A metal origami! 🪭 This method is called Hyperbolic Metal Forming and is hypnotizing to watch. Instead of shaping metal with slow mechanical force, HMF uses controlled shockwaves to form complex geometries at extreme speed, often without the need for heavy dies or post-processing. The result is stronger, lighter parts with shapes that are almost impossible using traditional stamping. That’s why you see it popping up in aerospace, automotive structures, and defense components. Think of it like metal origami, but driven by high-energy pulses instead of presses. A small reminder that some things in manufacturing come from physics, not just automation. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →
