Abstract: The present application relates to control command generation methods and systems for three-dimensional surface weaving. The control command generation method comprises the steps of: rebuilding a desired three-dimensional object into a three-dimensional surface mesh; converting the three-dimensional surface mesh into readable weaving information; and generating control commands from the readable weaving information to instruct a three-dimensional surface weaving system. The control command generation method generally comprises a pipeline of software including the mesh processing, weaving map extraction and command generation. The control command generation method can enable three-dimensional surface weaving function.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for three-dimensional surface weaving are disclosed herein. The system includes a jacquard device, a weaving device and a roller matrix. The jacquard device configured to selectively raise or lower the warp threads to form a shed for the weft thread to travel; the weaving device configured to carry the weft thread into the shed and weave the weft thread on the warp threads; and the roller matrix with individually controlled rotate apparatus configured to control the warp threads to move forward or backward. The warp threads come from rotate apparatus installed on the roller matrix. The rotate apparatus is controlled individually to forward or reverse rotate, so that the attached warp thread is able to be longer or shorter. As the warp threads can be shortened during weaving process, the three-dimensional surface can be produced.
