A method of making garment material, the method having the steps: applying coagulant (34) to a substrate (32); applying a foam (38) of the polymeric material to the substrate (32); allowing the coagulant (34) to coagulate some of the foam (38); and removing uncoagulated foam (38) from the substrate (32) to leave a layer of coagulated polymeric material on the substrate (32).

Method for producing a padding (10) by means of 3D printing by deposition of at least one first filament directly onto a portion of fabric (18) to make at least the first layer of a plurality of layers that define a multi-plane structure.

A substrate assembly is mechanically deformed to form various products. In part, the substrate assembly may advance toward a bonder apparatus. The bonder apparatus rotates about a longitudinal axis and includes a plurality of manifolds. The plurality of manifolds allow for substrate assemblies including different process product pitches to be processed on a single bonder apparatus.

An ultrasonic sealing system in a machine for making composite webs in the production of absorbent sanitary articles includes a contact roller having an axis of rotation and including a central portion and a peripheral portion which is supported by the central portion and includes an outer surface forming the outer surface of the contact roller itself. The contact roller includes a sealing pattern on the outer surface of the peripheral portion and also includes springs acting between the central portion and the peripheral portion, which is supported by the peripheral portion by means of the springs.

To provide a recycled-material polyurethane elastic fiber using recovered fabric containing a polyurethane fiber and a final product as raw materials, and a method for producing such. A recycled-material polyurethane elastic fiber wherein a recovered fabric containing a polyurethane fiber is used as at least a portion of raw materials, and a component separated by solvent-extraction separation of the fabric is used as at least a portion of raw materials.
