Could this be scaled up to print custom rugs? Or would this kind of embroidery not survive foot traffic?



Scaled up how? You can stitch multiple smaller pieces into a larger rug. But if you want a heavier thread then you might exceed your plotter’s limits.

A tufting gun is one alternative, mentioned in one of the videos. While not fully automated, it speeds up the job significantly.


I meant build a rug sized plotter. Would the stiching technique hold up to heavy wear of feet walking on it daily?
