No limited access to the shed anymore. Fill the shed like a pocket instead shoving material in as one would do with a tube.
Change patterns, the amount of sheds and also the warp yarn while you're weaving.
One of the questions is the thread tension for the separated
guiding beam. It has to be a solution which supports the single
threads. Here the idea is to work with suspensions.
Another question is the pressure onto the material laying on
the fell, so I thought there could be a balanced flail on a
wheel.
For the visionaries of us: imagine a loom, huge enough to weave glass foam blocks into glass fibre, to build passanger or freight cabins.
Also engineers want to be entertained... watch Schnuffi and his life as a thread in his daily treadmill.
Which material do you choose? You can practically interweave everything with everything.
Here we provide some pictures from the first days of our experimental weave. Other will follow.
When designing fabrics or objects, one should consider whether the loom should have moving beams, or moving segmented beams, and/or moving hooks/needles. This will have an influence on categories like speed, energy, complexity and precision, as well as changeover time, maintenance and availability of spare parts.
