We decided to work with the “Gelatine / Glycerine flexible“ receipt. The receipt asked for: 1g Gelatin (powder) 50ml of 1% Glycerine 25ml Water (which we unfortunately for some reason forget to add) text/html 2018-03-26T17:20:49+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/final_project?rev=1522084849&do=diff Aptus Sole - Technical Part https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn6W3ZsT7sc Basic Idea - Sensor development The Aptus sole is based on a simple input and output system. The input being the incorrect, over pronated gait and the output being the vibration. The input can be defined as the excessive inward rolling of the foot, therefore there will be an increase of pressure on the sensor of the base of the big toe. text/html 2017-10-09T16:40:15+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_0?rev=1507567215&do=diff First Project Idea My first idea for my final project was a back protector for people who have to carry/work with heavy things.(For example warehouseman) So that the back is held in a healthy position and no harm is caused. But its just an early idea and I‘ll keep researching as well as looking at different topics. text/html 2018-01-08T10:33:16+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_1?rev=1515407596&do=diff ---------- ---------- Digital Bodies It all started out with scanning a part of our body. I chose my hand. For this we used an iPad with an extra camera attached. The part you wanted to scan needed to be in a little box. It sounds quite easy, but can be a bit tricky at times, due to the fact that the camera can happen to focus on to the wrong part. text/html 2018-01-08T16:37:46+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_2?rev=1515429466&do=diff Circular Open Source Fashion [img_6211.jpg] Finding a Design Finding the right interlock pattern was quite a task for me. Firstly, I wanted to work with an arrow pattern. I tried different types and ways to make it work. For this I drew my pattern on paper, cut it out and fiddled it together. The results were not very satisfying. The pattern and the material did not smoothly intertwine, the result were gaps between the elements which could be a problem when designing clothes or something simi… text/html 2018-03-01T09:37:19+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_3?rev=1519897039&do=diff Biofabrics__ Bio Dyes http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/thormeyer.natalia http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/newton.laura Preparing the materia Animal Fiber = Masari = 45% Wool + 10% Silk Vegetable Fiber = linen Each fiber cut into 8 equal pieces. Vegetable fiber is cooked in water to which 2 tbs of backing soda were added, it should boil for about 60 minutes. text/html 2018-01-08T17:08:05+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_4?rev=1515431285&do=diff E-Textiles and Wearables I After learning about electric circuits and how they work we got to know conductive fabrics. For creating a „switch“ I used Shieldex Kiel +30 and a non conductive fabric. [img_6554_2.jpg] Using a 3V battery and alligator clamps I created a little electric circuit which really helped to understand the theory we learned in text/html 2018-01-08T17:10:18+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_5?rev=1515431418&do=diff Computational Couture [img_6658.jpg] We learned the basic functions of Grashopper and how it cooperates with Rhino. I think it is a great and easier way to create models in Rhino. When I first worked with Grasshopper I only created a really basic model. Playing around with Grasshopper really helped me to get to know the program and helped me to see what could be created with it. text/html 2018-02-19T12:00:32+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_6?rev=1519041632&do=diff Textile as Scaffold Working in a group with Natalie & Laura we decided to try different technics of textile applications. [img_6835_2.jpg]We created a handmade model out of foam. A disadvantage of creating it by hand is that the model might not turn out very neat. In this case it had no big negative influences on the finished result. The model was a 8 cm x 10 cm square with two little waves on it. text/html 2018-01-10T12:46:41+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_7?rev=1515588401&do=diff Open source hardware: from fibers to fabric The idea was to build a machine which is able to creat patterns out of fibers. To get your desired pattern you can control the machine via a joystick. Wooden dowels keep the patter in place. For better understanding here a little video of our finished machine. text/html 2017-12-10T18:12:51+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_8?rev=1512929571&do=diff E-Textiles and Wearables II My first idea was to create a chest belt for people who run. In order to reach their training goals, I wanted to include a sensor which measures their current speed and sends a signal to a vibration motor as so as their desired speed is reached. Unfortunately, I was not able to find the right velocity sensor. text/html 2018-02-24T14:06:45+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_9?rev=1519481205&do=diff Implications and applications Final Project Since our group consists out of three people Laura Newton, Natalia Thormeye & myself we decided to make the video appropriately longer. Video Presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQjS5XMQquk We decided to work on a sensor embedded sole for people with overpronation. text/html 2018-03-01T09:36:07+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_10?rev=1519896967&do=diff Soft robotics Creating the model With Fusion360 I decided to create a “Y“ model where the edges are round down. When creating the air passage you have to consider to make them smaller (height) than the whole model in order to create a base for it. In this case, my “Y“ has a height of 2cm and the air passage 1cm. text/html 2018-02-23T13:14:44+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/ver.pia/week_11?rev=1519391684&do=diff Skin electrics For this assignment, I decided to create a Batman mask. With the help of Rhino I designed this mask and printed it in the laser cutter. For bottom layer I used felt. Because the felt has a laser-cut defect I made a second layer with a partial eye mask out of imitation leather.
