- Merriam-Webster defines a fabric as a cloth, or a material RESEMBLING cloth... that said, I think I can say that I have successfully printed some really cool fabrics in this video! After watching, print some for yourself:
• Cubemail Bowl : than.gs/m/913949
• Triangle Mesh Fabric : than.gs/m/912887
*the very cool printed dress shown at the beginning should be credited to "Nervous System", not Nervous Program. Excuse the mistake!

Hahahaha! They will be sitting in their motorized rocking-chairs and wear VR-goggles while they design christmas-sweaters for their grandchildren in AutoCAD - using motion-sense gloves xD
@Aaron Sanders Old people today still use old stuff like books instead of iPads and cash instead of credit cards. So in the future I assume VR Goggles/iPads and 3D printers will be the "new old" book and stiching needles, and credit cards will be the "new old" payment method instead of paying with bioauthentication/DNA or something...
(Unless our generation is more accepting towards evolving technology than todays elders. Which we probably are, so you might have a point afterall!)
You could make blinds with it so when the sun comes up the light is diffused into the room in a grid-like pattern.
Oh yeaaaa
thats a cool idea
But what if you want to be dark? Like when ur watching a movie
Cool idea but that would defeat the purpose of blinds.
isn't that just a ...... curtain
"Unique bowl" accidentally creates a steamer basket out of plastic
Yeah , but if you use it , the dumplings will gain some chemicals from the plastic which from that bowl will be made off . ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you can find a heat resistant plastic it would be pretty good

Stolen, pathetic

Completely stolen
There is no originality here
@@adammilan6434almost everything is stolen in youtube
@@sociallyunactive Yep people would rather get credit for someone else's idea than to come up with it themselves, im the opposite.. its satisfying to come up with something
Considering the way light passes through it, I think it would make for some really awesome curtains!
That's a lot of stitching, but it would be sooo cool I might commit :P
This did remind me of architecture using louvres. The last material as a window shade could be compressed from the sides to shut out more light. Also reminded me of Torggler doors.
Ooooo!
lol i literally commented nearly the same thing, i was thinking blinds though. they remind me of something from india but not sure what
Curtains were the first thing I thought of too. They could really be cool. A belt and a hat might be cool too but the curtains would definitely work!
If this was the 70's, you'd be making a fortune making screen doors.
But then I wouldn't have a 3D printer :P
@@make.anything then just print one with your 3d printer
The bowl with the 3D printed cloth I think it’s perfect for a sieve for sifting some rocks.
Only problem is that anything smaller than a pebble (so stuff like gold) would just fall through the holes
@@jamesmd9925 that is what a sieve is, yes
@@jamesmd9925 Yeah but it would be perfect for looking for cool rocks
Dude... You can LITERALLY have an art gallery and make 💰 the last one standing on it's own. "Plastic blanket" with natural window sunlight casting cool shadows? Hell yeah
Poetry In Death but he can’t clam it since a lot of people already make 3D printed cloth before him
And I don’t think it’s gona be in a art gallery...
@@premiumboi473 I mean, that's kinda like saying people can't sell landscapes or portraits because other people have done it before them, just because other people have done artwork In a similar format doesnt mean people can't bring new ideas to the table and make a profit. If it's his own designs for the fabric there shouldn't be any issues.
@@rowbee3826 he didn't invent it though, so he can't trademark it. Also it's very likely someone already has, or there's no point as the demand doesn't match the product(not enough people want this or even care about it)
@@shadelightss never said anything about trademarking, the og comment says he should display it in an art gallery, you dont need a trademark to do that. If hes doing it his own way and not copying other designs/versions it falls under fair use
@@shadelightss I mean, he did invent this specific 3d printed cloth
You could make a good curtain with this if you want soft light to wake you up in the morning, floor mat if its strong enough, table cloth(if you spill, the holes drain the water), and multiple architectural structures. Its unique properties could make a cloth chair one day
The tablecloth is meant to catch liquids so it doesn’t actually hit the table underneath it
The curtain idea is interesting, when you stretch it it has a lot of holes for light to come thru, when collapsed , by strings or something, it would be solid, no light thru.
Victor Rossi like a solid curtain piece on both edges and when you draw the blinds shut it pull both sides up and at the top a solid bar that pulls one edge towards the other along the top hat would collapse it so it’s tight together. Then maybe use like undeerhangs for each piece so they actually cover small gaps between
You could do the floor mat but you need some type of Carbon Fiber filament
@@connorferraro6683 I have not seen *deliberately* 3D-printed brushes yet. I wonder how feasible it is to print fleece.
YES! finally a fabric i can print and use to wipe my tears away when my other prints fail!
actually it is plastic so it isn't absorbent
sorry for bursting your bubble.
If the fabric doesn’t fail...
N BR ABS is hygroscopic like nylon. High surface area prints like these would probably absorb a noticeable amount of water. A tumble dryer would shake out some of it quite easily, the internal water vapour will take some time to dry out and probably will need a vacuum to completely dry out.
The way the triangular one was able to hold a shape might make it a perfect material for large-scale camouflage.
also tents
Yeah
This has some amazing cosplay potential!
Yeah! :D
I feel like you could use the one as a strainer instead of a bowl.
Or a net
It’s pretty fragile though. A lot of water pressure could break it.
Yeah! I was thinking that too!
You probably could but only if it was cold items. Unless you like cancer!
@@SylasTheGreat Not all plastics are toxic.
Awesome man ...........try using translucent material will look awesome I think
Atharva Pande yassss
Julia Horowitz are those not the same thing?
no translucent it allows only part of the light through (so it blurs anything far away behind it) transparent you can just see through like glass
protopasta "stardust" glitter flake htplac or use some fil oyu wanna use up, and hit it with chrome effect spray.
datstuff It's really hard to get 3D printed parts to come out actually transparent, though. Even with transparent filament, the layers and lines in which the material is deposited introduce lots of tiny gaps within the print, and the plastic-to-air transitions there create refractive interfaces. The upshot is that for anything other than "vase mode" single layer thick prints, you basically can't get transparent objects with FDM printing.
Me when I'm a grandma making plastic quilts for my grandchildren.
10:48 that could be used to make self standing structures, like for tents and stuff
As an art teacher at the local school I think especially that self-standing fabric is interesting for teaching lighting and shadows and three dimensional drawing!
As an art student if my teacher brings this out for drawingI think my brain would break
This is great
And your name is DRY
If you re-visit this kind of thought, I suggest you look into Chain Mail, Ring Mail, and Scale Mail. Those were essentially the first real forms of metal cloth (In that it is a flexible sheet that can be 'stitched' together to form pieces like clothing and bags). And understanding the rudimentary differences in form and qualities between an Oriental 4-in-1 weave or a European 4-in-1 or European 6-in-1 could give you a pretty firm grasp on how to try to push yourself further into making different or newer forms to play with. Actually, your Triangular patterns there kind of remind me of an Oriental 3-in-1 design. Where each triangle is connected to 3 others by a linkage.
I also want to say that as a Maille weaver, it made be cringe just a little bit when I saw your squared off joins and rings. learning how to do the same thing with toroid shapes would make it feel smoother on the skin in any direction that it would rub over, on either side. Also, your scales: typically, in traditional scale mail, you might find it interesting that each scale has its connection hole in the very top, and is connected from there to each of its four neighbors by a link between them. That way, as the finished piece lies flat, the linkages are hidden by the layer above.
If you would like, I can point you in the direction of some Chain mailling resources that are fairly simple to delve into and understand, so you can dissect the forms of various weaves, and further understand the sizing of the rings (Both in inner diameter and thickness) affect the flexibility, durability, and such of the piece.
Wat.
old man describing beavis and butthead to the police: "....ah think they were oriental"
Imagine if you had a printer with a build size of 10 feet. You could stretch them out as far as they go, glue fabric over the tops of the triangles, and you literally have a self-standing tent
This is legit the very first video that actually made me want a 3D printer.
Absolutely *_stellar_* job on the triangle fabric! I may or may not try to use that concept somehow.
I liked your 'final' design. I can't wait to see what it evolves into.
"Oh, I just Broke my pants"
At least you could 3d print an easy patch

It’s green
How bout a Hammock? Not durable enough? Won't hold the weight? Still it'd be cool!
I need a 3d printed hammock!
Hammock for a geko.
a doll?
You guys are thinking a bit too small. I think a medium sized snake
What about an adult bearded dragon?
I personally liked the one the 'bowl' thing was made of... What if you'd mix using this technique and flexible material, then just remove all sharp edges, so ist more like interlocking rings instead of rectangles. Sounds like this could possibly make it a much softer fabric... Anyway very interesting and nice attempts...
tobsam that was my favorite too
Yea I think the same too. He focused on the wrong one. The one he made he bowl out of has the most potential for actually being fabricy c
imagine having a jacket made out of this stuff! That'd look hella cyperpunk
Genius! Thank you for expanding the possibilities of 3D printing :)
Love that material you made the bowl with.
Yeah, that one's my favorite.
It’s a neat instrument too! Almost a tambourine, but really different sounding.
Phil Nolan I agree it is the best one
Phil Nolan i wanna know what its called and i wanna buy one
It’s literally a dim sum container
Be great to print in a clear material to use with light sources.
Awesome idea! This should be made into a video 😁
4:35 I love the way that looks, I'm really impressed! I could totally see printing that and connecting all the pieces together to make a big quilt, adding a soft plush quilt fabric beneath. Very, very interesting
great to see videos like this to show you how creative you can be with a 3d printer can't wait to get mine!
Dude, this is SO COOL.

Imagine the triangle design, just metal, and on super cool looking armour.
This my wise space chowder, is what the future will be like.
Space Chowder space chain mail... I wonder about the durability of such a design? The individual plates would have to be pretty thick to provide any significant protection. Although, that being said, since that could be produced via an SLS process, it might be easier to make more complex shapes, due to the absence of support concerns with SLS

Metal plates don't need to be to thick unless you're going up against bullets. In which case you should just use kevlar

This is fabulous, Devon. Think this might have all sorts of architectural and sculptural applications for some really wonderful flowing space shapes. Thanks for sharing the fruits of your mind with us, always stunning to see powerful ideas in action, may you continue to find pleasure in your inventiveness so that we might also!
Something about that shiny white hexy material just *screams* Sci-fi!
Perhaps these "fabrics" could be used in a Hollywood movie for a future society where they make them and wear them. In other words, you can get a contract making props for a movie.
@@peterlindner3283 Sounds about right: Costumes that look awesome on camera, but are awkward to wear. And they would probably have to dub the dialogue, because the loud rustling noises will not fit with the sound design.
I think you need to make yourself a Christmas sweater

OMG! Yes! That's an awesome idea.
YES!
absolutely!!
It would certainly keep you cool if you didn't want to get warm.
Erin Rhonemus I would wear that
There's so much potential for this in fashion....you've inspired me
dude!! this just blew my mind...i was thinking about getting into 3d printing, this just made me 10x more excited
wow simply amazing, i love the rigid circle with "flowy" middle, it can really demonstrate to people the extend of different things a 3D printer can do, keep being awesome!
Derek Boudreau I have the strong temptation to throw it I'm curious as to how it would fly would it fly like a frisbee how would the floppy centre interact with the air how would the ear go through the holes I really want to see this now
The one you turned into a bowl was a lot more fabricy. Should have focused on that instead of the one you did, cause the one you focused in wasn't fabricy at all. Just looked like flexible plastic scales. Especially with how the back was all rough and weird.
00WolfSpirit Agreed. He could have made a shirt or something.
Yeah but he didn’t because he did not want to
The dabbing fornite Gamer We must make some plastic chain mail.
well I agree with what you said about how the bowl seems like a fabric while the other more like chain-mail. However, while the title may make us expect something different, this video details his experiments on what he wants to see and try out, and it seems he's more interested in flexible scales than trying to make 3D printed cloth.
I Agree
OMG I am in love with this video!! thank you very much s2
This is a really cool experiment and I really enjoyed watching it.
my favorite one was the bowl one without the strong border
I still like the bowl fabric the most tho...
me too
Same

This is awesome. I think one area where these types of 3D-printed fabrics could really shine is in bags and backpacks. They don't sit against your body so they don't have to be comfortable, and they don't have to be incredibly flexible.
Thanks for providing your test files!
whoooooa 3d quilting
Ada Emerson more like 3d quitting...
The Grandmas of the Future
Carl Sahagun XD
Make a window shade that can make light go trough less and more by contracting the thing like when you play with it by putting it between two transparent glass/plastic and have something to push it from the bottom to make less light go through
Like blinds?
Yesss
A few of these i see a few ideas but i think you should try the flexible filament they have nowadays
I myself am looking to try this since i recently purchased a 3d printer.
Thanks for sharing your experiments as well as your successes. Interesting stuff
This is actually really interesting! It reminds me of a purse I used to have with a metal "fabric" made from hexagons.
Honestly the material that the bowl was made of was so much cooler and more like a fabric than that triangular junk
I actually like the triangle one, but I see more practical applications with the bowl one.
Grant Schaaf the triangular one is cool and not junk but I also prefered the bowl material
Each day we get more and more close to get the clothes from the Androids in Detroit: Become Human.

do a shirt with it!
Make Anything // 3D Printing Channel you should make a hobermans sphere. It will be challenging but so worth it.
These could be very very effective strainers xD
i know a lot of time has passed since this video was made, but i especially liked the bowl/holder type fabric you made, would make for an interesting sort of usable decoration in someone's bedroom i'd think. such a neat concept
Love it! Thank you for sharing! :D

Here's an idea off the top of my head! Would it be possible to print your quilting tiles in varying tones of the same color? I think having a "quilt" with a soft color transition waving across it would be pretty! Also I wonder if a thermally insulated blanket could be made! And I'll bet you could make some cool hats with this stuff! This is awesome! ~Arctic
I do have a lot of shades of blue... :)
Perfect! I'd envisioned a large blue "blanket" with either geometric designs of a slightly different shade or with gradual color transition throughout, like going from dark to light blue and then back across the surface. This is cool!
You could probably use the last big one as a bath mat or put it over a bath mat for a cool texture
You were all like interesting light and I was all like "it looks like a fishing net..."
Amazing! Someone probably thought of this but that would make a cool handbag!
My cr-10 is printing the triangle mesh right now!!
+Brick Thunder nice!
stop bragging
Well is it done?
This was a joke but lol
What can you do with a triangle mesh?
How much do you pay for the simple plastic lmao
You should sell these as luxury fidget toys

would get mad cash for doing that tbh

Cons of 3D printed fabric
cannot absorb water for example like wiping your face
Jaimme Pineda you’d have to find a way to increase the porosity but I could be done
fabric already exists, hes looking for new uses that the new material could work well for
One con, otherwise they're awesome
Pros. Cannot absorb water. For example. When you want to stay dry
I could see this being useful for military purposes, maybe printing items that are made with a Kevlar kind of material for wearable or vehicular applications.
One use, is to print flexible solar panels
ThatBoi M00se lol, no. Solar panels are a joke and have no practical use beyond space travel
Tim Valstad they are clean energy, healthy for the environment.
Nanno MC I hope you're joking.
The amount of energy you waste constructing and assembling solar panels is pointless when you can generate far more power through nuclear. If you want clean, you can't beat nuclear.
Nuclear is dangerous... But it's more powerful. I still think solar panels are the best choice
they all looked really great.
Back in my junior year of college, I took a 3D print shop class. It was really one of my favorite classes ever! For my final project, I was heavily inspired by this video to try and recreate your fabric in Rhino 3D and print it on a flashforge. It took me almost 5 tries and two weeks of tinkering, but I managed to get my own 3D fabric for my final. However, it's still not as nice nor as flowey as your version here. I can think of having some strong polycarbonate material in a 3D printer to create a mail like this to make a bulletproof armor of some kind in the future. But who knows what the potential of 3D printing can bring. Anyway, still one of my all time favorite inventions on the internet, so keep up the good work!
TH-cam had unsubscribed me from your channel again... Thankfully i realized i had't seen your videos for a while in my feed

Whether he was joking or not, I took it as a joke, and it was kinda funny.
I would so love to experiment making wearable things with your fabrics
you are fantastic. I love this so much
I am always looking for new fabrics
I think that what you are doing here is so awesome
I wonder if you can put actual fabric on the tray at the edge of the samples you print and print on to the fabric as an edge so that then I could actually seW it on a sewing machine? so you could make the printed part attach to the fabric?
I would love to discuss more ideas with you
...
...?
This is lit, great work!
The rigid/solid combo that you made could have application as a specially made filter of sorts
Could this be done with something similar to Ninjaflex filament, IE. a flexible filament to make it even more Fabric like?
