Abstract: A system and method of producing a moulded article, e.g. a one-piece container, comprises delivering a fibre suspension to a porous mould and removing a suspending liquid (e.g. water) via pores of the porous mould. An inflatable bladder is inserted into the mould in a collapsed state and then inflated to apply pressure to internal walls of the article to remove water content. A wet embryonic form of the container is then transferred to a non-porous mould where an inflatable bladder applies internal pressure to compress the walls and remove further water content. The container is further dried by microwave and/or air drying and may be coated with a protective layer.

Abstract: A mould (14) for forming an article from a fibre suspension. The mould includes an insert with a cavity (27) in the negative shape of an article to be formed and two regions of different porosity/permeability (28, 29) about the cavity (27). In use the mould communicates a suspending fluid of the fibre suspension, e.g. by vacuum pump, through the at least two regions of different porosity/permeability about the cavity. A formed shape (22) of fibres is left behind on the cavity.

Abstract: An adjustable shapewear garment and methods for constructing an adjustable shapewear garment. The garment can be a real-time adjustable garment including a first adjustable region, a second adjustable region, a third adjustable region, an adjustment system, and an attachment system. The adjustment system can be disposed on the first, second and third adjustment regions, and the attachment system can be disposed on the first and third adjustable regions.
