Nature Architects Inc. has developed the design and manufacturing technology for a fabric named "Steam Stretch" that deforms automatically into the desired three-dimensional shape with heat in collaboration with A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE.
"Steam Stretch" uses a production technology by Issey Miyake, where certain threads in the fabric shrink when heated, creating stretchable fabric products. Nature Architects has developed an algorithm that calculates the necessary shrinkage patterns in the fabric to transform it into the desired 3D shape and automatically generates the design drawings, thus automating this design process.
Please watch the following video. By using this technology, one can produce almost finished items like clothing and hats instantly by heating flat fabric output from a loom, thereby realizing an entirely new concept in fashion.
Moreover, this groundbreaking technology is said to be applicable not only in the apparel industry but also in various manufacturing sectors.
