Abstract:This paper presents the prototyping of new methods by which functionally graded materials can be specified and produced. The paper presents a case study exploring how machine learning can be used to train a model in order to predict fabrication files from formalised design requirements. By using knit as a model for material fabrication, the paper outlines the making of new cyclical design methods employing machine learning in which simpler prototypical materials acts as input for more complex graded materials.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
