3D weaving machine creates a flexible and strong new material

Oluwaseyi Sosanya has created an exciting new manufacturing device — a 3D weaving machine. It creates a woven three-dimensional fabric that is both flexible and strong.

Sosanya demonstrated this new technology by weaving the soles of a pair of shoes. Using cotton, paper, and wool bound into one continuous thread, the mechanism winds the thread around metal rods to create a geometric patterned material. Its structure seems well suited for materials that require shock absorption and durability. The device was his final project while he was studying at the Royal Academy of Art.
