3Dkkudottuja

3Dkkudottuja is a term that refers to knitted or woven objects created using 3D printing technology. It represents a fusion of traditional textile manufacturing techniques with modern additive manufacturing. Unlike conventional 3D printing that typically uses rigid materials like plastic or resin, 3Dkkudottuja involves specialized printers and flexible filaments that can mimic the properties of yarn or thread. This allows for the creation of complex, three-dimensional structures that possess a degree of flexibility and texture characteristic of knitted or woven fabrics.

The process often involves custom-designed software to translate digital textile patterns into printable instructions. The 3D printer then deposits the flexible material layer by layer, building up the desired form. This technology opens up new possibilities for design and fabrication in fields such as fashion, where intricate and customized garments or accessories can be produced. It also finds applications in areas like medical devices, where flexible and form-fitting supports or prosthetics might be created, and in product design for items requiring a tactile and yielding surface. The term emphasizes the knitted or woven aesthetic achieved through a fundamentally different manufacturing method.
