> The 3D manipulation of 2D fabric is just too finicky and screams for the human touch, experienced, versatile fingers. But starting off 2D, mass produced fabric is just so much more efficient and versatile.

3D robot woven fibre composites were a thing for more than a decade.

Yes and severely limited in aesthetical expression.

Before you said it wasn't possible. Now when someone points out it has been already done for a long time you say "severely limited aethetical (not a word) expression".

Where did I say it's not possible? This very article is about 3D printing of clothes. So someone pointed out 3D woven clothes exists, probably didn't really read my comment either. I too had 3D woven clothing in mind in my original first paragraph, when I emphasized the aesthetic benefits of 2D fabrics, over direct 3D fabrication.

What's your point, really? Is what I said invalidated, because you assumed some inconsistency off topic? Do you think that's constructive and helpful to discourse and exploring new ideas?

Then you went on some tangent about "the future of human freedom".

Yes. That's not 3D woven, is it? Robots aren't sewing jeans, but they can weave some variation of tube like socks or a simple pullover. Anyway, I think you are just trying to fight and feel superior over some pity. Hope you get better. Good night.
