OpenKnit is a project that offers a new digital fabrication tool, an open-source knitting machine that can create ready-to-wear clothes from digital files.

WARNING: this project is at an early stage of development, every piece of hardware and software is in beta version, testing and testing, if you're adventurer this is a place for you. Let me know if interested in speeding up the progress and become a core developer. Currently working on making the machine fully automated, since some steps are still being handmade (as seen on the video -link soon-), reliability is not at its best.

Documentation

In the SketchUp file you can find the whole machine, you can export parts for printing and checking details for assembling, a bit rough I guess, working on that. The Arduino file is the firmware for the machine, for Arduino Leonardo (since it has 5 interrupts). Knitic is the software for operating the machine, by Mar Canet & Varvara Guljajeva at https://github.com/mcanet/knitic

SOON All the .stl exports of every printable part.
