Incredible 3D Weaving Machine

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Two enterprising design students at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco, Evan Bowman and Ryan Chen, designed and constructed a 3D weaving machine that works much like a 3D printing, producing up to five-feet-tall super-lightweight, fibrous, woven structures. The ingenious, 7-foot-tall “Space Weaver” prints using fiberglass and carbon fiber and an epoxy that gives the end products rigidity.
