Jacquard looms, historically significant as early digital fabrication devices, enable precise control of warp threads, allowing complex pattern weaving. This project explores the potential of Jacquard weaving as a digital fabrication tool by incorporating "pintuck weaving," where shrinkable weft yarns introduce controlled deformations that shape textiles into three-dimensional forms. We explore methods for guiding these deformations through pleat structures, concentric patterns, and layered weaves. The results show how computationally designed textiles can transform from flat planes to self-supporting forms. Unlike conventional computational design paradigms that rely on predefined geometric modeling, our approach emphasizes a process where patterns, materials, and deformation interact dynamically, giving rise to unexpected yet controllable structural outcomes. forming patterns, a sculpture using these textiles presents a series of three-dimensional forms obtained by our approach. This project contributes to digital fabrication by integrating material properties with computational design, expanding the design space of Jacquard weaving beyond traditional two-dimensional applications. By bridging textile techniques with digital design, we highlight possibilities for shaping textiles through intrinsic structural behavior.
