Reflection

Over the course and the project I realized that evaluating and calibrating many of the materials we used can be quite challenging and requires a good amount of physical prototyping and experiments which would be interesting to do. The first project that I wanted to do was to see how well muscle wire would be at keeping specific angles such that it can be used to fold stiff starched cotton or paper for box folding. With a little bit of experimenting I realized that it was quite challenging and getting the same effect would require carefully planned path. Then I looked at use the knitting machine to rapidly fabricate simple conductive setups that could be useful for e-textiles projects, again calibrating conductivity and resistance with varying yarn types and yarn amounts would be interesting.
