Digital Knitting Machine By Kniterate KickStarter Project
ABOUT KNITERATE
Kniterate is bringing an affordable and compact version of industrial knitting machines to your workshop. It automatically turns your digital designs into knitted garments.
We’ve made the process of designing and making knitwear very easy. Start creating scarves, beanies, ties, ready to be worn and assembling your own dresses, sweaters or even shoes.
Sweater designed by Jinhee Park. Knitting time 8 hours.
Create a design and Kniterate will knit it for you. Our process makes it easy for you to scale from one-offs to production quantities. Read the section How Kniterate works for details.
Personalized knitwear for everyone
We love knitwear. It’s light and breathable, adapts to your body and unlike cut-and-sew, there is almost no waste, because the product is knitted to shape.
We have developed Kniterate because we want everyone to be able to explore knitting’s potential. Until now the only similar tools available were industrial knitting machines, which cost upwards of $50,000, take a lot of space and require a technician to run.
With Kniterate you can make personalized professional knitwear at the click of a button, and repeat and share your favorite designs over and over again.
What will you make?
With a library of templates and up to six feeders (different colors and/or materials), you will be able to make amazing patterns, structures and shapes that would be hard to knit otherwise.
