Provided is a fiber molded body which has excellent durability against repeated compression and also has excellent flexibility and a cushioning property. The fiber molded body forms, on a surface of the fiber molded body, the ridges having a compressed and flattened shape in the thickness direction of the fiber molded body; or the fiber molded body forms a continuous curved surface with the fiber layer which forms the ridges and extends from both sides of the ridges in the thickness direction of the fiber molded body, and portions of the fiber layer of mutually adjacent ridges which form ridges and extend in the thickness direction of the fiber molded body come into close contact with each other in the thickness direction of the fiber molded body.

According to one embodiment, an electrospinning apparatus is adapted to deposit fibers on a member to form a deposited body. The apparatus includes a processing section. The processing section is capable of forming a mixture section in the deposited body. A first fiber part of the deposited body, and a second fiber part of the deposited body are mixed with each other in the mixture section. The first fiber part is located on the member. The second fiber part is located on the first fiber part.

The invention relates to a patterned spunbonded nonwoven fabric sheet comprising a plurality of spunbonded crimped fibers bonded together at a plurality of bonding points, wherein all fibers of the patterned spunbonded nonwoven fabric sheet are spunbonded crimped fibers and wherein the configuration of the fibers within the sheet is inhomogeneous and varies according to a preferably regular pattern. The invention further relates to a method for forming such patterned spunbonded nonwoven fabric sheet from a flat spunbonded nonwoven fabric sheet starting material. Still further, the invention relates to such flat spunbonded nonwoven fabric sheet starting material.

A polyethylene (PE)-based fully-recyclable textile material and product formed by three-dimensionally printing PE structures onto a polyethylene textile is provided. The textile material can include one or more PE filaments being directly deposited onto a PE fabric via an FDM printing process to form a mono-material. The deposition of structures onto the PE fabric, which can form the substrate of the textile, can be used to enable changes to the mechanical properties of the fabric and/or create novel design aesthetics. Moreover, this material can be characterized by its ability to be thermally recycled, from which new PE-based products and materials may be manufactured. For example, the PE-based fully-recyclable textile material can be formed into a PE recyclate that can be melted and re-pelletized for formation of alternative PE-based fully recyclable textile materials. The PE-based fully recyclable textile material can be used in footwear and other wearable applications, as well as spacesuits, helmets, bulletproof vests, sweat-proof garments, racing suits, and so forth.

A nonwoven laying apparatus (3) and a nonwoven laying method are based on a laying device (7) that folds a delivered fiber web (4) and forms a multilayer nonwoven fabric (14) on the discharge path (15) of a discharging conveyor (13) that runs transversely or at an angle to the feeding direction (26). The travel profile of the discharge path (15) is set in such a way as to vary in the discharge direction in the vertically projected zone below the web outlet (12) of the laying device.
