Abstract: An overall process of providing information needed for a circular loom to produce articles of clothing on demand is disclosed. Initially body data or measurements are generated for a person by scanning with a camera or other image capture device or estimated based on user-input body parameters. Measurements are extracted from the body data which are then processed with linear regression and other parameter extraction techniques. The extracted measurements are then processed. The resulting panel shapes are used to automatically produce the article of clothing as woven output with the loom.

Abstract: A circular loom for continuously weaving fabric with a varying diameter includes a variable diameter weaving ring, independently actuated heddles, and at least one shuttle including a weft insertion arm attached to a linear rail system configured to adjust the position of weft insertion arm based on a diameter of weaving ring. An associated method includes varying the diameter of weaving ring, independently actuating heddles and adjusting the position of weft insertion arm along linear rail system to continuously produce hollow textile products having variable diameters.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for producing seamless woven materials that are variable in each of their 3 dimensions. The systems and methods generally operate by altering heddle positions independently to impart three dimensional structure to a woven fabric. Weft yarn is woven into a set of warp yarns that have been individually raised or lowered along a particular cross section, essentially locking the weave into an intended 3 dimensional form.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for creating a three-dimensional woven textile products. A method includes rotating strands of warp yarns, where each strand of warp yarn is in a direction away from a surface, in a circular motion while moving a strand of weft yarn forwards and backwards in a direction parallel to the surface so as to cause the strand of weft yarn to alternately weave in and out of the strands of warp yarn. The method includes moving the strand of weft yarn in a direction away from the surface so as to cause the strand of weft yarn to alternately weave in and out of the strands of warp yarn at a different height to create a three-dimensional woven textile product. The method includes supplying at least one of the strand of warp yarn or the strand of weft yarn with a yarn generator.
