Abstract: In some embodiments, a support structures can be formed from a support structure matrix comprising a plurality of layers and a plurality of spring structures embedded within the plurality of layers of the support structure matrix. The plurality of spring structures have a plurality of different durometers. The plurality of spring structures can be configured to deform and return to its original shape after deformation. The orientation and structure of the spring structures can vary depending on a desired durometer and/or function within the support structure.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a support structures can be formed from a support structure matrix comprising a plurality of spring structures embedded within the support structure matrix. The plurality of spring structures can be formed from the same material or a different material, and can have the same or different durometers. The plurality of spring structures can be configured to deform and return to its original shape after deformation. The orientation and structure of the spring structures can vary depending on a desired durometer and/or function within the support structure.
