Spinning Machine

The HILO 3.0 spinning machine enables the creation of unique and experimental yarn designs in small batches. This provides developers and designers with the opportunity to experiment with their ideas cost-effectively, without relying on large industrial machines.

My task involved analyzing the previously developed HILO 2.0 machine and designing a easily replicable and durable structure using identical parts and components from additive manufacturing. The challenge was to minimize the total number of parts, consolidate redundant structural and functional groups, and develop easily printable identical components.

The HILO 3.0 Spinning Machine will operate according to the new official standardization for open-source hardware, DIN SPEC 3105, established by DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V.).
