The Fabricademy program, an academy of textiles and technology, includes in its program "Textile as Scaffold". This topic focuses on the use of textiles as support structures, or "scaffolds," in various applications. The importance of textiles as scaffolds in the fashion and textile industries lies in their potential to create innovative and functional garments and products. The unique properties of textiles, such as their flexibility, strength, and biocompatibility, make them an ideal choice for developing new technologies and applications. Textiles as scaffolds can be used in the fashion industry to: ● Create garments with new shapes and textures: Textiles as scaffolds can be used to shape and structure garments, allowing for the creation of innovative and avant-garde designs. ● Develop functional garments: Textiles can be integrated with technologies such as sensors or actuators, creating smart garments that respond to the user's needs. ● Improve ergonomics and comfort: Textiles as scaffolds can be used to create garments that better fit the body, providing greater comfort and support. Studying textiles as scaffolds at Fabricademy allows students to explore the possibilities of textiles in advanced applications and contribute to the development of new technologies in the fashion and textile industry.

weekly assignment

Document the concept, sketches, references also to artistic and scientific publications
Produce 2 techniques of textile scaffold choosing from the following:

fabric formwork with casting crystallization wood-textiles composite resin & bioresin -textiles composite leather molding other
Document the process including the step-by-step instructions on software, machine, mold making, vaccum forming and textile composites
Upload your design and fabrication files, including the 3D model and CAM file when possible
Document at least 2 processes from design to prototyping, fabrication, materials used, document your achievements and unexpected outcomes
Make a stop motion of your crystal growth or use 3D modeling software to simulate your design (extra credit)
