A sheet is used for a disposable wearable article. The sheet is such that a plurality of projections are formed on a single nonwoven fabric. A hole is formed in the apex of the projection. The projection includes a holding portion, in a periphery of the hole and at a position adjacent to the hole, for holding the projection and holding an open state of the hole.

A method for assembling shoe components includes the steps of: providing at least two shoe components, a shoe last and a film unit; placing the at least two shoe components on an outer surface of the shoe last; removably covering an assembly of the at least two shoe components and the shoe last with the film unit such that the film unit and the shoe last cooperatively define a confining space therebetween; and pumping air out of the confining space and heating the at least two shoe components to shrink and deform the film unit so as to press the at least two shoe components to adhere tightly to each other.

A method for manufacturing a foam molded body which can allow the foam resin sheet to follow the shape of the cavity of the mold with high accuracy even when the thickness of the foam resin sheet is thick. The method includes an arranging step to arrange one sheet of a foam resin sheet between first and second molds, the foam resin sheet being formed by extruding and dangling a molten foam resin from a slit; and an expanding step to expand the foam resin sheet by subjecting the foam resin sheet to a reduced pressure suction.

A system includes an orientation determination system comprising a camera where the camera is configured to capture an image of an orientation feature of a physical dental model of a dental arch of a customer with material thermoformed thereon. The orientation determination system is configured to identify an offset of the physical dental model with respect to a fixture plate during positioning or before or after the physical dental model is positioned on the fixture plate by determining an actual orientation of the physical dental model based on the orientation feature. The system also includes a laser trimming system configured to cut the material along a trim line based on the identified offset while the fixture plate is moved about at least two axes to produce a dental aligner specific to the customer and being configured to reposition one or more teeth of the customer.
