"Finely-woven textiles"---this tells me you know very little about the last 150 years of weaving technology. We no longer have such a thing and have not had since the 20th century. The last looms capable of doing that kind of work hit the scrap heap well more than 20 years ago. Closest thing to it (and that's not all that close) are produced on islands off of the cost of Scotland; heavily subsidized and tightly controlled. Google Draw, Dobbie and Jacquard looms, history of. Yes as a hand weaver you can go out and buy one, but forget about commercial production, that day has been and gone.
- fennecfoxen 15y agoHey. What are you talking about? The poster you replied to compares 3-D printing quality to today's textile manufacture and concluded that the latter was too coarse. Does the existence of historical weaving techniques, which may have been superior to modern weaving techniques for those who could afford them, render his assertion false?
