Felted Objects via Robotic Additive Manufacturing

In this thesis, we develop a new method for Additive Manufacturing of felt to make three dimensional objects. Felting is a method of intertwining fibers to make a piece of textile. In this work, a 6 DOF UR-5 robotic arm equipped with a 3 DOF tool head to test various approaches to using felting. D...
