Abstract: A support garment (e.g., upper-torso support garment, such as a bra) includes a mesh textile that is integrally formed and that is lightweight and breathable with zonal properties. For example, the mesh can include elongated members, which intersect with one another at nodes to form a grid of cells, and the mesh can continuously extend throughout one or more multiple portions of the support garment. In at least some instances, the mesh construction and/or the elongated members can vary from one portion of the support garment to another portion of the support garment, and the variation of the mesh and/or the elongated members can contribute to zonal properties.

Abstract: A method of 3D printing a garment can include 3D printing a first filament layer extending in a first direction, and 3D printing a second filament layer over the first filament layer. The second filament layer can extend in a second direction different than the first direction such that the first and second filament layers overlap one another at a plurality of contact points and collectively define a plurality of open cells.

Abstract: A cushioning component includes a bladder and a core. The bladder includes first and second barrier sheets defining an interior cavity between opposing inner surfaces of the barrier sheets. The core includes at least one polymeric sheet traversing the interior cavity between and directly bonded to the opposing inner surfaces at a plurality of bonds. The cushioning component includes a sidewall disposed around an outer perimeter of the core and directly bonded to the first and second barrier sheets at peripheral bonds to enclose the interior cavity. The core is disposed in the interior cavity and is decoupled from the sidewall. A method of manufacturing includes disposing blocker ink on opposing sides of at least one polymeric sheet, placing the at least one polymeric sheet between the barrier sheets, and thermally bonding the core to the opposing inner surfaces, and the sidewall to the barrier sheets at the peripheral bonds.

Abstract: A cushioning component for a wearable article includes a bladder with barrier sheets defining an interior cavity. A core is disposed in the interior cavity and is spaced entirely inward of a peripheral bond between the barrier sheets.
