Very interesting. Could make a fun hobby out of it. Maybe use it to construct woven carbon fiber objects?

- blacksmith_tb 9y agoCF isn't so different from a lot of natural fibers, I would think if you loaded up the knitting machine with bamboo yarn, you could glop resin onto the finished product to achieve something similar to carbon.
- Varcht 9y agoSeems like an interesting idea, you can get it to lay up some pretty complex shapes using the common weaves but it is an art/pia. Seems there has been some research into it https://www.advancedsciencenews.com/how-to-knit-carbon-fibers/ https://www.advancedsciencenews.com/how-to-knit-carbon-fiber...
- brandmeyer 9y agoThe mold is the tricky bit. You need to make your knitting in sections that will fit over the mold. It might be more effective than using strips, or it might just be more expensive.
