Toolkits allow for rapid prototyping processes. That is why we build them.
The first Toolkit is for 4D Textiles. We are providing you a set of selected 4d textiles items; ready to print on your 3D printer.
How to Toolkit
- Get your physical toolbox
Create morphing textile hybrid structures with modules pre-made for your creative journey. Connect, activate and play – creating structures of the future. - Build far beyond imagination
You did not get enough from the physical toolbox? You want to go beyond the basic structures? Get the digital files here. - Share your learning
We want to know what you have made. Did you create the next moon vehicle or the lampshade perfectly fitting into the restaurant you own? Let us know by uploading to our database.
Tesselation
With tesselations shapes and their changes are endless. This is a hexagon-based tesselation which will help you create multi-stable design-free structures.
Membrane
A core competency of textiles – the membrane shape. You might want to use it for fluffy ball structures or to build complex roofs for your architecture model.
Compliant mechanisms
You always wanted to program material? Then these structures are for you. Slightly more complex to print but also a lot of fun to play with. They will help you create bi-stable structures the way you want them.

Connectors
No toolkit works without connectors.
