After getting a wooden furniture printer, Boss Tang couldn't stop at all, because the market was already giving feedback. The hardness of pure wood products is too high, and the effect of chairs and beds is not good, because of the hips and back. It would be possible to enhance them with other products, but this is not in line with the original intention of Boss Tang's "three lives and all things".

Downing remembered the Canadian explorer John? Ray learned from the Eskimos that the snowshoes were made of raw cowhide, which shows that there is also a soft material in the wilderness, that is, animal skin.

When Downing was in Canada, he also visited the Eskimo villages in the Arctic Circle, where the aunts spent a lot of time mending shoes and clothes every day, and it would be nice to invent a printer made of animal skins.

Hides are not found everywhere like wood, which is a very precious material. Therefore, the animal skin printer is absolutely hollow, similar to human clothes. Downing's first thought was to chop hides into threads, and then knitting.

If animal skins follow the path of the development of human clothing, it must be spun first, then weaved, and then made into textiles through various cuts. This is really troublesome, and the concept of three lives and all things is to solve these troubles, so we must not follow the old path of human beings.

In the history of mankind, a Chinese-American inventor invented a very interesting method of weaving. At first, he saw his daughter playing with rubber bands with the children, and strung the rubber bands together to form bracelets and other small things. His daughter asked her father, who was an engineer, to teach her how to play, but he was ashamed that he wouldn't.

At this time, ordinary people say "no" to pull down. But this is not the way the engineer thinks, the engineer is ruthless, he makes a template out of wood, a matrix of hooks, much like a knitting auxiliary template, he puts the rubber bands on the template one by one, and then wraps them one by one.

After a period of exploration, I finally found the knitting method of "loop loop loop". Children love this template because it helps them to knit bracelets and shapes intuitively. It's a bit like Lego bricks, it's a little more complicated, as long as you learn to put the loop on the template, wrap it around it a little more, and a piece of "cloth" comes out.

Later, the formwork became so popular that engineers turned it into a toy called rainbowloom.

Downing wanted to turn this toy into a productivity tool. What does it mean to weave on a template, do you think? The cost of learning is low. It is not easy for a person to learn to weave clothes, but there is a humanoid template out there, and it is enough to simply wrap the loops around the template and repeat them.

It's a skill that even a three-year-old child can learn, let alone an adult. One of the great advantages of this technique is that the process of weaving cloth is the process of weaving clothes, and as for the way of the circle, it is also simple, and the animal skin is cut off piece by piece with a knife like a seal.

The smaller the loops, the denser the fabric will be woven in the future, and Downing's team experimented with cutting small squares of a three-dimensional centimeter into seven rings. The outermost one is the inner circle and the outer square, and in order not to waste the fabric, the rest are smaller and smaller, and they are all positive rings.

Raw animal skins happen to have a certain elasticity, which is similar to rubber bands. There are tens of thousands of units in a piece of clothing made with the largest rings, and the amount of work to remove the rings and winding them by hand is really large, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of rings of the smallest size, which is simply inhumane.

Therefore, to invent a pulley-like thing to assist the weaver with the rings and winding, the user only needs to push the pulley along the guide rail, and the speed can catch up with the sewing machine, which can be 3000 loops per minute. In the engineering process, it is necessary to set two loops, and then add one winding, which can make about 1,000 loops per minute.

If you do the math, an average of 30,000 circles of a summer animal skin garment takes only 30 minutes. And the densest winter clothes take more than three hours. Since the large-scale industrialization of clothing, few families in rich countries have made their own clothes anymore and have to buy them in ready-to-wear stores.

Therefore, this product is aimed at the old and the young, the marginal and poor areas, and the fourth- and fifth-tier cities. In the past, it took several weeks for aunts to make sweaters, and it took all the eyes to produce one. With our hides printers, they no longer have to worry about their children running out of clothes to wear.

Admittedly, its printed underwear is not as delicate as the factory's, and its printed outerwear is not as warm as a hand-sewn fur coat. But it is easier to come by, and it can also make effective use of an otherwise inferior animal skin. Plant fibers like straw hat grass can also be processed in this way.

Even if it fails in the garment market, it can still be applied in the furniture market. Wooden 3D printers can only produce hard objects, but animal skin printers can weave soft objects. One hard and one soft is like one yang and one yin, yin and yang are combined with all things, this time it is a high-level everything.

It is extremely suitable for weaving a mattress, a cushion, and a backrest. Its biggest disadvantage is that it is extremely difficult to manufacture the template, but this most terrible problem is solved by another sister - the wooden printer.

Whether it's a weird barb or a fine trickster, as soon as 3D printing comes out, all of them are at your fingertips. The industrial era also has its shortcomings, take ready-to-wear as an example, generally with a size of 5 cm, and there are many numbers in between.

So, unless you're making a custom garment, there's a good chance that the finished garment won't work out of your mind. This is the time for homemade clothes to show their skills. Of course, the discerning people will not use animal skins, they will choose to buy the best fabrics.

Boss Tang's product is a success and will rewrite the history of the garment industry. In the future, the fabric industry will produce a large number of circular "yarns". In terms of industry competitiveness, this product is more powerful than wooden printers, and it can really grab the business of garment factories.

Because Boss Tang can launch a private clothing customization service and measure the clothing, the cost is not much higher than that of large factories, but the concept can kill ready-to-wear brands.

And Boss Tang's plan to send technology products to the countryside has also ushered in heavyweight products, which can truly do business in every tribe. In backward places, we are engaged in the processing of timber and animal skins, and the materials are exchanged for finished products, and some commissions are deducted, so that the villagers of each primitive tribe have furniture and clothes to wear.

The fur on the hides can also be processed into rings by rolling the wool in rings with a special spinning machine and cutting it into rings with fine knives. In addition to the crude animal skin clothes used to compete with garment masters in fourth- and fifth-tier cities, Boss Tang's team also refined a fine woven model that can produce a quality comparable to that of a normal garment factory.

This three-dimensional sewing machine-like machine weaves clothes on a model scanned by a customer, and the finished product will fit the human body like a beast's clothes. This new manufacturing method created by Boss Tang is a matrix.

It does not monopolize all profits, but rather a platform that allows designers to design a variety of styles and endless styles in this era that has never been so good, directly beyond the exploitation of factories, and has become the most fashionable way of production and work.

Boss Tang's innovation can't stop at all, because the crazy designers have been sending telegrams to IBM, which is responsible for the production of printers, asking for other materials to be made printable, such as porcelain clay. The ancient method of making porcelain is to allow the clay to be shaped by the dexterous hands of the potter in a rotation.

The modern method of refining porcelain is to make a stencil, let the moist porcelain clay rotate in the stencil continuously, and slowly dry up to form a layer of porcelain embryos of a good size, and then remove the stencil to remove the excess porcelain clay. The porcelain clay is shaped at 1000 degrees, cooled, and then covered with a layer of finer and more advanced porcelain clay, and then fired at 1400 degrees.

If it's solid-color porcelain, that's enough, but it generally needs to be colored. The ancient Chinese did not understand the damage of high temperature to pigments, so they could not get any other color except the blue of blue and white, and modern porcelain was re-fired at 800 degrees after coloring, which could use very rich colors, so the process of fighting color appeared in the Qing Dynasty.

It is actually very suitable to use 3D printing to do the first process, because this stage can be a little rougher, and it will automatically become smooth in the process of vitrification at high temperatures, which can cover up a lot of defects, and become a good manufacturing method for low-end porcelain.

What else do you want to do with the printed porcelain embryo? The medium manufacturing process is already great, and no one who is sloppy will see the difference. The Downing team really wanted to take a hit with the porcelain industry, and they modified the dryness of the porcelain clay so that it could be cut thin like a piece of paper.

After that, you can cut and paste layer by layer as you would with wood chips. The pasting of porcelain clay pieces is so cool, you can get stickiness by just adding some water. And the hardest part is how to "blow away" the excess. Unlike pieces of paper and wood, porcelain clay will blow the whole object apart when you blow it.

The engineers racked their brains and finally came up with an incredible way to accurately calculate the weight of the internal and external excess components during cutting, so that the half-cut joints could not bear the weight and fell off automatically. In this way, when the porcelain is turned upside down after completion, the excess parts will automatically leave.

The engineering team's final evaluation of the process was that it was more than enough to occupy the fifth-tier cities.

Paper, wood, animal skins, and animal hair are not easy to get wet, but porcelain is not afraid of water, which is also a yang and a yin, and pushes all things to a higher level. If calcite is added to the porcelain clay, the porcelain can withstand fire and can be cooked directly.

The ancient Chinese were so lucky, 1. 20,000 years ago, primitive people near Guilin used calcite-containing porcelain for cooking, and Europeans still prefer to grill directly.

This also indicates that the progress of this third poverty alleviation project will not be so smooth, after all, porcelain clay is not available in every place, otherwise why would Jingdezhen be so famous?

These three printing devices are known as the Tribal Three Treasures. With it, the whole tribe had a center for the production of wood, fabric, and porcelain, and from then on it was free from scarcity
