Embodiment Construction

[0011] Three-dimensional (3D) printing structures to replace conventional insulating materials are described in this article. Although reference down, e.g., goose down, it should be understood that other insulating materials commonly used in clothing (e.g., synthetic materials) may also be substituted or supplemented.

[0012] Systems, methods, products and / or insulating baffles used to produce more sustainable solutions than animal-derived products are described herein. Systems, methods, articles, and / or insulation baffles described herein may perform better than any synthetic insulation material currently on the market. Conventional synthetic insulation materials are limited to segmented fibers and continuous filament constructions that are modified in different ways. The systems, methods, articles and / or insulation baffles described herein may use different substrates and different structures to achieve the purpose of intercepting air (insulation). 3D printed structures can...

Abstract

An article (100, 200, 300, 400) is described herein. An example article may include a first surface (404) including a first mesh. The example article may include a second surface (406) at least partially spaced from the first surface (404) and having at least one common terminal connection point with the first surface (404). The first surface (404) may include a second mesh. The first surface (404) and the second surface (406) may define a cavity (407) therebetween. The first surface (404) and the second surface (406) may be deformable under a compressive force from a first state to a second state to contract a volume of the cavity. The first surface (404) and the second surface (406) may be capable of returning to the first state when the compressive force is released.

Description

Background [0001] Clothing such as jackets and other items such as blankets may require insulation. Animal feathers (e.g., down) can be used as insulation materials. However, there is a need for sustainable forms of insulating materials that can replace animal-derived insulation materials. Some synthetic down alternatives are known. However, synthetic down may not perform as well as regular down. Therefore, improvements are needed. Contents of the Invention [0002] Insulated bezel is described in this article. Example insulation baffle may include a first surface, the first surface comprises a plurality of first interconnect pillars limited through a plurality of first pores through the first surface. The example insulating baffle may comprise a second surface, the second surface is at least partially spaced apart from the first surface and has at least one common terminal connection point with the first surface. The first surface may include a plurality of second interconnect p...
