Dress can change style and fit with blow of a heat gun

A simple dress that can shape shift into different styles with a custom fit by using a heat gun, has been developed.
Although called the 4D dress, it is made using a computer-controlled industrial knitting machine.
The device knits the basic dress all in one piece, using the special active yarn in which the fibres permanently shorten when heated past a certain temperature.
The unprocessed garment is placed on a dress-form mannequin.
Based on the buyer's measurements and their individual style, a robotic arm uses a custom heat gun to strategically heat the garment, causing the fabric to shrink just the right amount in just the right places.
Depending on how the active yarn is distributed in those areas, it can shrink to form features such as pin tucks, pleats or a cinched waist.
It the wearer gets tired of the dress they can take it back to the store to get new features added by the heat gun robot so it stay fashionable for longer than a normal dress.
Washing the dress in hot water won't activate the active yarn.
The technology was developed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology inn the USA in collaboration with high-tech clothing company Ministry of Supply.

A shoulder bag that heats up food like a portable microwave has been developed.
The Willcook bag uses a patented technology that uses a battery to generate heat from the cloth used to make it.
The Japanese company Willtexwhich is behind it says it can heat food in 20 minutes even on the go.
Uses could be heating up a meal taken to work during lunchtime, warming a baby’s bottle when lout or even for an emergency in a disaster as Japan is prone to earthquakes.
The inside reaches 80°C in five minutes after being powered on, but users can set the temperature between 40°C and 250°C via a smartphone app .
The included battery pack lasts for 8 hours on a full charge and has a small, dedicated pocket on the side of the bag..
In the summer it will keep beer and other drinks cold.
The company claims three 350ml bottles of beer will stay cool for two hours without the battery installed.

‘People want to be green’: the rise of Devon eco-bedmaker Naturalmat
Recently B Corp certified, Naturalmat is the first bed and mattress firm to achieve the ethical status in the UK.
Having started off as a teeny cottage company making mattresses for boats, Naturalmat is now the first B Corp certified bed and mattress company in the UK with five showrooms around the country.
Natural fibres are more expensive and harder to cut, but they have many advantages over synthetic fibres. The fundamental difference is that natural fibre is self ventilating. It wicks away heat and moisture. You lose up a litre of water per person per night. Meanwhile synthetics absorb heat and absorb moisture, so retaining all those elements next to your body.
Devon-based Naturalmat to be awarded B Corp status, making them the first British bed and mattress company to achieve certification in the UK.
According to the National Bed Federation, more than seven million mattresses were thrown away in 2017, with most going straight to landfill. However, Devon-based Naturalmat believes that a mattress is for life.
Founded over 20 years ago, sustainability has been at the heart of Naturalmat from the very beginning, with founder Mark Tremlett pioneering the production of completely natural, organic and sustainable mattresses - making them the first British manufacturers in the interiors industry to use natural & organic materials, as standard, across all aspects of production. From certified organic wool and coconut fibre to natural latex, Naturalmat is rigorous in handpicking only the most sustainable materials from suppliers they trust, setting a new standard for the sleep industry. Furthermore, when a customer buys a Naturalmat mattress, they access their unique three mattress end-of-life options - meaning they can either refurbish, recycle or donate their mattress, therefore closing the loop when it comes to waste within the mattress industry while ensuring healthy sleep for all.
It is thanks to Naturalmatís long-standing commitment to sustainable matt

Founded over 20 years ago, sustainability has been at the heart of Naturalmat from the very beginning, with founder Mark Tremlett pioneering the production of completely natural, organic and sustainable mattresses - making them the first British manufacturers in the interiors industry to use natural & organic materials, as standard, across all aspects of production. From certified organic wool and coconut fibre to natural latex, Naturalmat is rigorous in handpicking only the most sustainable materials from suppliers they trust, setting a new standard for the sleep industry. Furthermore, when a customer buys a Naturalmat mattress, they access their unique three mattress end-of-life options - meaning they can either refurbish, recycle or donate their mattress, therefore closing the loop when it comes to waste within the mattress industry while ensuring healthy sleep for all.

‘People want to be green’: the rise of Devon eco-bedmaker Naturalmat
Recently B Corp certified, Naturalmat is the first bed and mattress firm to achieve the ethical status in the UK.
Having started off as a teeny cottage company making mattresses for boats, Naturalmat is now the first B Corp certified bed and mattress company in the UK with five showrooms around the country.
Natural fibres are more expensive and harder to cut, but they have many advantages over synthetic fibres. The fundamental difference is that natural fibre is self ventilating. It wicks away heat and moisture. You lose up a litre of water per person per night. Meanwhile synthetics absorb heat and absorb moisture, so retaining all those elements next to your body.
Devon-based Naturalmat to be awarded B Corp status, making them the first British bed and mattress company to achieve certification in the UK.
According to the National Bed Federation, more than seven million mattresses were thrown away in 2017, with most going straight to landfill. However, Devon-based Naturalmat believes that a mattress is for life.

‘People want to be green’: the rise of Devon eco-bedmaker Naturalmat
Recently B Corp certified, Naturalmat is the first bed and mattress firm to achieve the ethical status in the UK.
Having started off as a teeny cottage company making mattresses for boats, Naturalmat is now the first B Corp certified bed and mattress company in the UK with five showrooms around the country.
Natural fibres are more expensive and harder to cut, but they have many advantages over synthetic fibres. The fundamental difference is that natural fibre is self ventilating. It wicks away heat and moisture. You lose up a litre of water per person per night. Meanwhile synthetics absorb heat and absorb moisture, so retaining all those elements next to your body.
Devon-based Naturalmat to be awarded B Corp status, making them the first British bed and mattress company to achieve certification in the UK.
According to the National Bed Federation, more than seven million mattresses were thrown away in 2017, with most going straight to landfill. However, Devon-based Naturalmat believes that a mattress is for life.
Founded over 20 years ago, sustainability has been at the heart of Naturalmat from the very beginning, with founder Mark Tremlett pioneering the production of completely natural, organic and sustainable mattresses - making them the first British manufacturers in the interiors industry to use natural & organic materials, as standard, across all aspects of production. From certified organic wool and coconut fibre to natural latex, Naturalmat is rigorous in handpicking only the most sustainable materials from suppliers they trust, setting a new standard for the sleep industry.
