To do so, we choosed one animal and one vegetable fiber and cut them into 8 pieces. We chose to work with 8 pieces of one fiber because this is a good basis to compare the results. I decided to use alpacawool and linen. The alpacawool consists of 80% alpaca, 14% virgin wool and 6% polyamide. After cutting these fibers into 8 pieces, I put tags onto the fibers, to make them recognizable. Then I had to wash the fibers in seperate pots for one hour. The animal fiber was w… text/html 2017-10-22T16:05:54+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia/19102017?rev=1508688354&do=diff Today we did the biofabrics. Again, I worked in a group with Pia and Laura. We decided for the recipe “Gelatine / Glycerine flexible”. The recipe consists of: 2g gelatine, 100 ml of 1% glycerine solution and 50 ml of water. Because we only had 80 ml of 1% glycerine solution, we decided to cut in half the amounts of the needed ingredients. Therefore, we used 1g gelatine and 50 ml of 1% glycerine solution. text/html 2017-12-09T15:02:29+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia/arduinocode?rev=1512831749&do=diff Code for my interactive Rudolph text/html 2017-10-02T21:10:09+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia/week1?rev=1506978609&do=diff Week 1: State of the art, project management and documentation This week I mainly thought about an idea for the final project.

Tuesday, 03.10.2017 Today we did something like a workshop day, to talk about all the different stuff and programs we will need during the Fabricademy. We talked about 3D scans, lasercutting and using the different programs. Then we did the first 3D scans in groups to see how this whole thing works. After that we used these examples to work with them in the different programs. Then we … text/html 2017-10-17T10:18:29+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia/week3?rev=1508235509&do=diff Documentation 11.10.2017 Today we did some patterns, with positive and negative pieces. Because this is the week’s assignment, we just train a bit. Therefore we used paper and different motifs, Adriana brought today. Then we had the task to try the different forms and bring it on transparent paper. After that, we should think about the positive and negative patterns and draw them. Then we had time to cut out the patterns and try to put them together. We created our first seamless object. text/html 2017-10-22T16:07:23+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia/week4?rev=1508688443&do=diff Documentation 18.10.2017 - Biodyes Documentation 19.10.2017 - Biofabrics text/html 2017-11-03T20:21:54+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia/week5?rev=1509740514&do=diff Documentation 25.10.2017 Today we worked on the first assignment with the LED circuits.

We decided to try different techniques of textile applications. We created a handmade model out of foam. We used a 8 cm x 10 cm square with two little waves on it. We were lucky because we had no irregularities on our model, which can be causes doing it manually by hand. After spraying our model with non-sitck-spray, we wrapped it in aluminum foil. We hoped that doing this will simplify removing the fabric from the model. We put four different types of fab… text/html 2017-12-19T08:41:55+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia/week8?rev=1513672915&do=diff For this week's assignment the idea was to create a machine, which can create different patterns controlled by a joystick.

It was also used as an e-textile, but using a battery and a switch, which would has fit perfectly for our class “E-textiles and wearables I”. So I decided to modify this idea, so that it fits for this class too. For this, I thought about including a LED for the nose, like the Rudolph of Pinterest has, but also putting a loudspeaker into it, which… text/html 2018-03-02T09:58:16+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia/week10?rev=1519984696&do=diff For the final project, I will work together with Laura and Pia. As already mentioned in our video, we want to create a sensor embedded sole, which helps to cure overpronation. What it is about? The sensor will be imbedded into the sole and will detect the amount of pressure that the foot is experiencing. Once the pressure threshold has been reached, the sensor will give a feedback in the form of a vibration. This which will aid the wearer in correcting his or her gait. text/html 2017-12-19T09:28:08+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia/week11?rev=1513675688&do=diff This week we started with an introduction given by Adriana, who explained us how Lilly developed her own infelt. Then we had our practical part in the lab. Therefore, we splitted the assignment in two parts. This splitting was done because to concentrate on the one hand on the pneumatic wrist bracelet and on the other hand on the soft gripper. For the first part we needed following materials: Thermo Transfer, backing paper, the machine to use the thermo transfer, scissors and the heating press… text/html 2018-03-02T10:46:30+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia/week12?rev=1519987590&do=diff For this assignment, I searched for some inspiration using Google pictures and Pinterest. After watching some photos, I decided to do a mask with some swirly pattern to it, and somehow I feel reminded to the Carnival of Venice. This is the shape of my mask. text/html 2018-03-26T22:01:56+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia/week13?rev=1522101716&do=diff Aptus Sole – Final project results Our final project is based on the idea to produce an insole with an embedded sensor which gives the user a feedback via vibration when there is an overpronation. Overpronation is defined as an excessive inward rolling of the foot. The target group are mostly children in the developmental age because they have the chance to correct their walking behaviour before it is too internalized. The big advantage of this sole compared to a normal orthopaedic sole is that…
