Abstract: Computer based systems and methods for designing and manufacturing consumer products, including knit footwear uppers, and the like. The system simulates deformations of knit structures and allows the user to control and visualize compensations in the structure(s) of the knitted component to better match between an intended knit design and the actual physical knitted component outcome. They system may modify a knit design of a knitted component to compensate for a predicted/estimated deformation behavior of the knitted component.

Abstract: Computer based systems and methods for designing and manufacturing consumer products, including knit footwear uppers, and the like. The system simulates deformations of knit structures and allows the user to control and visualize compensations in the structure(s) of the knitted component to better match between an intended knit design and the actual physical knitted component outcome. The system may modify a knit design of a knitted component to compensate for a predicted/estimated deformation behavior of the knitted component, for example, by duplicating one or more portions of a knit structure associated with the knit design.

Abstract: A device comprising: a bracket adapted to be coupled to a distal end of a robotic arm; a tool holder coupled to said bracket and configured for changeably receiving a first portion of a stone working tool, wherein said tool is movable in a reciprocating axial direction; a driving element for driving said tool distally along said axial direction during a power stroke of said device; and a guiding element for changeably receiving a body portion of said tool and for guiding said tool in said axial direction, wherein said guiding element is configured to resiliently return said tool proximally along said axial direction after said power stroke.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of fabricating a construction element. The method may include assembling a mold on a rotational casting machine; rotating the mold around at least two axes at a predetermined speed; providing a first portion of magnesium silico-phosphate cement (MSPC) mix, having an altered hardening rate, to the mold while rotating the mold until at least a portion of the mold's walls is covered by a first layer of the MSPC mix; and rotating the mold until the MSPC mix is hardened to a predetermined degree.

Abstract: Computer based systems and methods for designing and manufacturing consumer products, including knit footwear uppers, and the like. The system provides digital controls for the customization of knitted components, including complex multi-structured knitted components. The system simulates deformations of knit structures and allows the user to control and visualize compensations in the structure(s) of the knitted component to better match between an intended knit design and the actual physical knitted component outcome. The system may manufacture/fabricate a knitted component based on the predicted/estimated deformation behavior of the knit.
