Harnessing Basket Weaving for Hierarchical 3D Structures
The artistic craft of 3D basket weaving offers novel and unexplored mechanics that can be harnessed for practical engineering. With basket weaving it is possible to directly fabricate functional 3D structures by interlacing different spooled materials. We are currently exploring the unique stiffness and resilience characteristics that basket weaving offers due to the hierarchical nature of the woven materials. We are also studying how shape-morphing and multi-physical properties can be achieved with woven systems.
