Together with Pia and Natalia, I worked on a project developing a sensor based, user-adaptable insole with over-pronation detection and integrated feedback. Put simply, the sole detects when the wearer is walking incorrectly and with a quick vibration alerts the wearer and i… text/html 2018-03-29T10:44:09+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/newton.laura/skin_electronics?rev=1522320249&do=diff Skin electronics Step 1: Shape and Cutting of Mask For the shape i found an outline online and used this to 'trace' the outline on Rhino. Once i had the shape i used the laser cutter to cut out the main part as well as the little orange bandana part. I used artificial felt for the mask as it provided a good structure and added to the stability. text/html 2017-09-26T15:44:46+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/newton.laura/week1?rev=1506440686&do=diff Week 1: State of the art What I did this week text/html 2017-10-09T13:40:06+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/newton.laura/week_2?rev=1507556406&do=diff Week 2: Digital Bodies The Brief: Create a model of a body part using different digital tools and design methods. Adriana, our course co-ordinator, gave us the brief of designing a part of your body. We could choose between our head, torso or a limb. There was also an option to make the limb move with a joint. I choose to make a model of my hand. text/html 2017-10-17T12:47:31+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/newton.laura/week_3?rev=1508244451&do=diff Week 3: Circular open source fashion ==== The Brief: design a modular reconfigurable system or seamless garments, show that the connection is well designed and holds the pull/stretch of a garment ==== This week's task came with a lot of challenges, one being designing the patternthat would interlock and not fall apart. I wanted to achieve a very clean finish and was inspired by natural geometric shapes. One shape that I liked a lot was the hexagonal shape of a honeycomb.

We wanted to experiment with different technologies and we decided on 3D printing, CNC milling as well as making a hand made cut out model. text/html 2017-12-19T13:18:47+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/newton.laura/week_8?rev=1513689527&do=diff Week 8: Open source hardware: from fibers to fabric This assignment was rather daunting as it involved the goal was to make an automated machine. After some brainstorming we decided to make a joy stick operated String designer. (Traditionally made with nails on a wooden board, string/ yarn is threaded around the nails to make desired design) text/html 2018-02-19T17:30:28+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/newton.laura/week_9?rev=1519061428&do=diff Week 9: E-Textiles and Wearables II Task: Create an interactive object I decided to create a device which will alert you if your tea or coffee is getting cold. It will be a removable strap/ band around the mug. 3 LEDs with diferent colours will alert you of the different temperatures text/html 2018-02-20T10:02:31+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/newton.laura/week_10?rev=1519120951&do=diff Task: Implications and applications For the final project I will be working with Pia and Natalia on a sensor embedded sole text/html 2018-02-19T09:51:09+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/newton.laura/week_11?rev=1519033869&do=diff Week 11: Soft Robotics Task: Level Intermediate: Soft Gripper Materials: * Ecoflex part A and B * Neokasil part A and B * release spra * Oven * 3D printed mold * paint brush * mixing vessel.
