Fabrication files and documentation about the Embroidered Inflatables Sample Series

This dataset is a compilation of files related to the Embroidered Inflatable samples. The Embroidery Inflatables were created throug a material-driven process that aimed to explore the implications of using digital machine embroidery to create soft actuators for wearable or other textile-based applications. These inflatables are created through the combination of embroidery and silicone casting. The embroidery defines the shape and behavior of the inflatables, removing the complexity from the mold and casting process, and increasing the design possibilities. The methods of fabrication described can also support a robust integration of soft electronics and the actuators into textiles through a single fabrication process (embroidery). <br> In this dataset, you can find the documentation of the design process (including techninal specifications and fabrication method for each sample) and the embroidery files (.pes) of the samples. You can use these to reproduce or, better yet, design new interactive materials and soft interfaces based on digital machine embroidery.

本数据集为与刺绣充气试样（Embroidered Inflatable samples）相关的文件合集。刺绣充气结构通过材料驱动的工艺制备，旨在探索利用数字化机器刺绣技术制备可穿戴或其他纺织类应用软体驱动器的潜在价值与影响。此类充气结构由刺绣与硅基浇铸工艺结合制成，刺绣工序决定了充气结构的形态与运行特性，既简化了模具与浇铸流程的复杂度，又拓展了设计可能性。所述制备工艺还可支持通过单一工序（刺绣）将软体电子元件与驱动器稳固集成至纺织材料中。<br>本数据集包含各试样的设计流程文档（含技术参数与制备方法）以及试样的刺绣文件（.pes格式）。使用者可利用这些文件复刻现有试样，甚至基于数字化机器刺绣技术设计全新的交互材料与软体界面。
