Publication number: 20230398749Abstract: A three-dimensional component is produced in a simplified molding operation. Expandable substrates, which are referred to as blanks, are created by compressing thermobonded nonwovens after heating the binder material above its melting temperature, and then cooling the compressed nonwovens so that the binder material hardens and holds the fibers of the nonwoven together in a compressed configuration with stored kinetic energy. Boards can be formed by laminating two or more blanks together and/or by laminating the blanks with other materials, including non-expendable materials. A mold for the component to be manufactured can be partially filled with a number of boards (or blanks) in a stacked, vertically, adjacent or even random orientation. In addition, the boards or blanks may be cut to create desired shapes of parts that can be placed in the mold.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Andy HOLLIS, Michael Stephen DEFRANKS, Eric MCCANN, Mehran JAFARI, Helias ANDRIESSEN, Sang-hoon LIM, Andrea PIANA, Alfio BORGATTI

Publication number: 20230323591Abstract: Nonwovens having low-density and resilience have a chemical formulation applied on one surface (e.g., a top surface) by any of various application methods. Then, the chemical formulation is forced to move toward the opposite surface of the nonwoven (e.g., move downward through the nonwoven from top to bottom). The chemical-treated nonwoven is dried to fix the chemical on the nonwovens. Movement through the nonwoven is performed in a controlled fashion so that after drying the distribution of a chemical formulation throughout the nonwoven (e.g., from the top surface to the bottom surface of a nonwoven) is controlled.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Sang-hoon Lim, Andrea Plana
