The 4D Knit Dress by MIT Self-Assembly Lab and Ministry of Supply combines cutting-edge technologies like heat-activated yarns, computerized knitting, and a robotic arm to revolutionize garment construction. Unlike traditional methods that result in excess waste and bulky seams, this dress is sculpted to create a personalized fit and style. By using a tubular knitting technique and innovative robotic activation, the dress can transform in real-time, mimicking the traditional design process of pinning and tucking for a perfect fit. This groundbreaking technology eliminates the need for standardized sizing, allowing for customized shaping to fit anyone’s unique body.
