Posted by Our paper, “Knit Joinery: Incorporating Multifunctional Materials with Single-bed Machine Knitting,” won the Best Paper Award at DIS 2026!
Led by Yi-Chin Lee, we show how a manual knitting machine can work alongside laser cutting and 3D printing, soft-circuit fabrication, and creative reuse, positioning it as a fabrication tool in its own right, not just a machine for producing soft materials. We are so proud of this collaboration with Yi-Chin Lee, Lea Albaugh, Jim McCann, and Scott Hudson.
