Kniterate, the 3D printer that makes wool sweaters

Goodbye to grandma’s sweaters, thanks to the Kniterate 3D printer we can make at home, choosing shapes and colors, scarves, hats and sweaters for the winter

Do you remember the classic grandma’s sweater? The one given as a Christmas present that as soon as the temperature started to rise above 10 degrees began to sting. Well, even this has been overcome. From today, in fact, we can safely give or make for ourselves the sweater with the 3D printer Kniterate.

It is very easy to use, just choose the type of product, design and colors of the shirt to be made and start the process. With this printer we will be able to make sweaters, headphones and even scarves. In the choice of colors we will be able to indulge ourselves as the machine supports up to six different colors at a time. Kniterate also supports all major fabric types. Replacing fabric rolls is very easy, just connect one thread to the machine and the rest plug into the thread slot. So with this 3D printer, the next Christmas presents will certainly not be a problem.

How Kniterate works

If the default garments do not meet all our requirements, we can also design our own sweaters or scarves. We can decide the shape, size and colors. Through a graphic tablet we can even design our garment from scratch. And then let the printer do the process. In the future, then, we could be the ones to launch a fashion. So far, so good, but the biggest obstacle is the price. To bring home this 3D printer need more than 7 thousand euros. A bit ‘many to create a few scarves. Kniterate at the moment is looking for funds on Kickstarter, if we were interested in buying the shipments will start in the early months of next year.
