Printing on textile
Design by Tessa Petrusa
Responsive Tactility: 4D Printed Skins
Surfaces consisting of integrally printed patterns of
‘skeletons’, ‘muscles’, and ‘joints’ on stretched fabric.
When the tension of the fabric is removed after
printing, the surface folds itself into shape: 4D printing.
The form and details of the surfaces change when
touched, giving a soft tactile response

24. INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTING
Advantages robotic 3D printing
• New form language – organic shapes
• Big size plastic objects
• Freedom of change
• Production speed
• Choise of materials
• Complex forms
• Low start-up costs
• Save material (additive)
• Low labor manufacturing
• Small series / one off
• -> mass customisation

25. PARAMETRIC DESIGN
Parametric design to robotic manufacturing
Flexible System
Change one parameter -> change result
How does it work?
Like an excel sheet
Connect different numbers together using mathematical
relationships
Parametric software connects:
Numbers with geometry (points, lines, surfaces, etc)
Based on a number, the geometry will change

• Define the rules of the game
• Cell sizes based on:
- Stresses
- Required deformations
- Manufacturing constrains
• When the rules have been made:
- Mass customization is possible
- Connected to production
