Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a clothing infrastructure that can be fully adapted to the body using a heat gun. developed.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers to this system4D Knit Dress” he calls it. In the process, the researchers, assisted by a robotic arm with a heat gun attached to its end, can ensure that the clothing prepared with special heat-shrinkable threads fits the wearer exactly, that is, it adheres fully to the body. It is stated that the infrastructure you can watch in the video below does not make a permanent change on the clothing. This means that the clothing can be reshaped later by applying heat. The clothes, which do not cause any fabric loss because they are knitted from scratch, are not yet available for commercial sale, but the foundation already promises potential for the future. This system, which focuses especially on women, can make the production of evening dresses much easier.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers had previously made a splash with a “liquid metal printing” system that yielded fast results. Researchers use this system to speed up the 3D / three-dimensional printing process, develops to quickly meet specific needs.
In the liquid metal printing system, especially at this stage aluminum (Other metals that can be liquefied can also be included in the process), metal parts can be produced in a short time with molten aluminum drawn or even poured into tiny glass beads at a level close to powder. Researchers, who have automated the entire process and established a sensitive robotic infrastructure for this, cannot yet obtain very detailed or smooth prints (it is stated that this is often not needed), and are focusing more on high speed at this stage.
MIT, which prepares different furniture such as chairs and tables with this printing system., says that the new process they developed is at least ten times faster than similar metal production techniques. Researchers, who particularly focus on aluminum because it is easy to recycle and process under CNC, state that the system keeps the material molten throughout the entire process, reducing the possibility of cracking and warping. The video shared for the system and showing the production process is right below:
