An alternative way of producing textiles that is very different than both knitting & weaving. Cellular Textiles, produced using additive manufacturing, are defined by their complex interlocking parts. A single base unit geometry is created, with variable parts. By repeating these base units over a surface while changing their parts, textiles with varying properties can be created.
Examples of dresses created using cellular textiles are from the MER KA BA collection, SS14, designed by threeASFOUR & Bradley Rothenberg
