Wired Mag has a story describing A-POC, a weaving system that produces a rapid-prototyping-like tubular cloth that can be cut anywhere without unraveling—allowing custom clothing to be made without any sewing. The A-POC system can be used to make a variety of materials, including structural components. If the patent-pending process takes hold, it is possible that bespoke clothing could be designed or customized by the wearer themselves, uploaded to an A-POC weaver, and ‘printed’ out—at least, that’s what I want to happen.
