A forming cavity adapted to receive particulate material and form therefrom an agglomerate of absorbent fillings for use in hygiene articles, comprising: an outer forming matrix (3) adapted to receive said particulate material, said an outer forming matrix provided with openings and having a shape corresponding to the form of the absorbent filling to be produced; a grid-like support structure (10; 30) coupled to said outer matrix (3), to support the outer matrix (3) during suction of particulate material through the outer matrix (3), and includes a A curved outer surface (11) of the shape, an inner surface (12) opposite to said outer surface (11), a pair of larger sides (13) opposite to each other and a pair of smaller sides (14) opposite to each other, and through openings (17a, 17b, 18a, 18b) extending between said outer surface (11) and said inner surface (12) to allow gas to flow from said outer surface (11) to said inner surface (12) during suction the inner surface (12). A method for making a forming cavity, comprising: making at least one outer layer (15) of said support structure (10; 30) and at least one inner layer (16) of said support structure (10; 30), The outer layer and the inner layer are superimposed and have an outer opening (17a, 17b) and an inner opening (18a, 18b) bounded by an outer wall (19a, 19b) and an inner wall (20a, 20b), respectively, wherein the The outer openings (17a, 17b) and the inner openings (18a, 18b) are superimposed to define the through openings (17a, 17b, 18a, 18b); wherein the method further includes making an outer opening superimposed thereon One of said inner openings (18a, 18b) has at least one outer opening (17a, 17b) of different shape and / or size, and said outer wall ( 19a, 19b) and said inner wall (20a, 20b).
