[0002] Soft support for clothing was first seen in bras, and later widely used in various types of clothing to achieve support, shaping, deformation prevention, and improve clothing service life and aesthetics. The conventional soft support structure is a double-layer structure including an inner core and a covering. The conventional manufacturing method of such a structure is injection molding through a mold, which results in the conventional soft support structure being generally a homogeneous structure with the same mechanical properties in all directions and positions. With the promotion and use of soft support, the technical field expects that the soft support can provide different mechanical properties in different positions and directions. For example, for a bra with soft support, on the one hand, when wearing it, it is hoped that the shape of the lower edge of the cup can be easily adjusted to adapt to the shape of the chest, and after wearing it, it is hoped that the soft support can provide shaping support from both sides of the cup; on the other hand, after wearing the bra, it is hoped that the bra can fit the body contour in the horizontal direction, and it is hoped that it can provide effective support to the chest in the vertical direction. However, the existing homogeneous soft support cannot adapt to the mechanical properties required to provide different support forces or different elastic forces in different positions of the clothing to achieve support, shaping, and deformation prevention.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0095] The embodiments of the present application provide soft supports for clothing, clothing with soft supports, and corresponding manufacturing methods. Compared with traditional soft supports, the mechanical properties of the soft supports provided by the present application are set to be segmented anisotropy or directional anisotropy, and the mechanical properties of the soft supports at different positions and directions are adaptively adjusted to adapt to the stretching or rebound requirements at different positions or the support requirements at different positions and directions.

[0096] Soft supports are generally strip-shaped components, and the mechanical properties used to measure strip-shaped components generally include bending stiffness, tensile stiffness, rebound rate, etc. Taking bending stiffness as an example, since bending stiffness is directional, soft supports can be set to directional anisotropy of bending stiffness or segmented anisotropy of bending stiffness; and for tensile stiffness, soft supports generally only focus on axial tensile stiffness, so soft supports can be set to segmented anisotropy of tensile stiffness.

[0097] Example 1

[0098] This embodiment provides a soft support for clothing, wherein at least one soft support for local support is provided on the clothing, and the soft support comprises: a strip-shaped elastic inner core, and a covering member covering the elastic inner core; the bending stiffness of the elastic inner core against bending is set to be directional anisotropy, and / or the bending stiffness of the elastic inner core against bending is set to be segmented anisotropy, and / or the tensile stiffness of the elastic inner core against stretching is set to be segmented anisotropy;

[0099] The above-mentioned directional anisotropy of bending stiffness means that the inner core of the elastic body has different bending stiffness against bending in different radial directions along any cross section of the inner core of the elastic body;

[0100] The segmented anisotropy of the bending stiffness means that the inner core of the elastomer has different bending stiffnesses against bending at different segments along the axial direction of the inner core of the elastomer; or the inner core of the elastomer has different bending stiffnesses against bending at different positions along the axial direction of the inner core of the elastomer;

[0101] The above-mentioned segmented anisotropy of tensile stiffness means that the inner core of the elastomer has different tensile stiffnesses for resisting stretching at different segments along the axial direction of the inner core of the elastomer; or the inner core of the elastomer has different tensile stiffnesses for resisting stretching at different points along the axial direction of the inner core of the elastomer;

[0102] The elastomeric inner core serves as a supporting inner core of the soft support and generally has a stronger supporting capacity than the covering. The covering is conventionally made of soft materials such as rubber, resin, polypropylene, thermoplastic elastomer, etc. Compared with the covering, the supporting inner core is generally harder.

[0103] The soft support for clothing provided in this embodiment sets the mechanical properties of the elastic body core to be: the bending stiffness is directional anisotropy, so that different support effects can be provided in different directions;

[0104] The soft support for clothing provided in this embodiment sets the mechanical properties of the elastic body core to be: the bending stiffness is segmentally heterogeneous, and different support effects can be provided at different positions;

[0105] The soft support for clothing provided in this embodiment sets the mechanical properties of the elastic inner core to: the tensile stiffness is segmented anisotropic, which can provide different stretching effects at different positions. Furthermore, the soft support for clothing provided in this embodiment sets the mechanical properties of the elastic inner core to: the rebound memory property is segmented anisotropic, which can provide different memory rebound effects at different positions.

[0106] In an optional embodiment, the inner core of the elastomer is set as a continuous body, or the inner core of the elastomer is set as a discontinuous body. When the inner core of the elastomer is a continuous body, the directional anisotropy of the mechanical properties can be achieved by changing the cross-sectional shape, and the segmented anisotropy of the mechanical properties can be achieved by changing the material strength, material ratio or cross-sectional size at different positions. When the inner core of the elastomer is a discontinuous body, the mechanical properties naturally have segmented anisotropy.

[0107] In yet another alternative embodiment, see Figure 1 , the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastic body is set to be segmented anisotropic, and the inner core of the elastic body 110 is provided with a total of j segments N1, N2, ... Nj along the core axis direction, j ≥ 2; the bending stiffness of the j segments in direction one varies with the position of the segments, and direction one is used to characterize the direction in which the inner core of the elastic body is bent and deformed to fit the body contour of the wearer. As a result, the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastic body in the direction of fitting the body contour of the wearer has segmented anisotropy, so that different bending mechanical properties can be provided at different positions in the direction of fitting the body contour of the wearer to adapt to the human body contour. For example, at a position where the human body contour is flat, the bending stiffness of the segments of the inner core of the elastic body is set to be larger, not easy to bend, can provide stronger support performance, and prevent clothing deformation. At a position where the human body contour is curved, the bending stiffness of the segments of the inner core of the elastic body is set to be smaller, easier to bend, and the soft support is easier to fit the human body contour. Similarly, the inner core of the elastic body is provided with j segments N1, N2, ... Nj along the core axis direction, j ≥ 2; the bending stiffness of the j segments in the other direction varies with the position of the segments, so as to provide different mechanical support effects at the position of the segments; the other direction can be set to any direction other than direction one. For example, the other direction is parallel to the wearer's body contour, and the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastic body in the direction parallel to the wearer's body contour has segmented heterogeneity, thereby providing different bending mechanical properties at different positions, so as to provide adaptive support effects at different positions. When the soft support is applied to the bra, taking the wearer standing vertically as an example, the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastic body in the vertical direction to resist bending deformation is set to be larger in the segment where the chest needs to be supported, and the soft support is not easy to bend in this segment and can provide stronger mechanical support performance.

[0108] In another optional embodiment, the bending stiffness of the elastic inner core is set to be directional anisotropic, and the bending stiffness of the elastic inner core in direction one is set to be smaller than the bending stiffness of the elastic inner core in direction two. Direction one is used to characterize the direction in which the elastic inner core bends and deforms to fit the body contour of the wearer, so that: in the direction of fitting the body contour of the wearer, the elastic inner core is easier to bend to fit the body contour of the wearer, and in direction two, the elastic inner core is not easy to bend to provide support. Direction two can be any direction except direction one, which varies according to the type of clothing, the different positions of the soft support, and the different support directions of the soft support. For example, see Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cross-sectional shape of the inner core of the elastic body includes anisotropic cross-sections with long sides and short sides, such as dumbbell, rectangle or I-beam; the long side direction is parallel to the body contour of the wearer, and the inner core of the elastic body is not easy to bend in this direction to provide support; the bending stiffness in the short side direction is set to be smaller than the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastic body in the long side direction, and in the short side direction, the inner core of the elastic body is easier to bend to fit the body contour of the wearer.

[0109] By adopting an anisotropic cross-section, the bending rigidity of the elastic inner core in the direction of bending and deforming in the direction of fitting the wearer's body contour can be smaller than that in other directions.

[0110] In another optional embodiment, the inner core of the elastomer is provided with several segments as directional anisotropic segments, and the remaining segments are conventional segments, that is, the inner core of the elastomer is divided into a plurality of segments, and there is at least one directional anisotropic segment in the plurality of segments, thereby, the inner core of the elastomer has both segmental anisotropy and directional anisotropy. The bending stiffness of the directional anisotropic segment in direction one is less than the bending stiffness of the directional anisotropic segment in direction two, and direction one is used to characterize the direction in which the directional anisotropic segment bends and deforms to fit the body contour of the wearer, so that: in the direction of fitting the body contour of the wearer, the directional anisotropic segment is easier to bend to fit the body contour of the wearer, and in direction two, the directional anisotropic segment is not easy to bend to provide support. In this embodiment, the inner core of the elastomer has both segmental anisotropy and directional anisotropy, that is, it can provide different mechanical properties at different positions and in different directions, and is more widely applicable.

[0111] In another optional embodiment, the elastic core achieves segmented anisotropy in a manner that the mechanical properties change with position. In this embodiment, the elastic core is still a continuum without clear segments, and the mechanical properties of the elastic core change with position by gradually changing the cross-sectional size or cross-sectional shape. For example, see Figure 5 The cross-sectional area of ​​the inner core of the elastomer varies with position from one end to the other end along the core axis direction (different thickness), which can make the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastomer change with position when bending and deforming in a direction that fits the wearer's body contour, or change the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastomer when bending and deforming in a direction perpendicular to the wearer's body contour, or change the tensile stiffness of the inner core of the elastomer change with position, thereby providing different mechanical properties at different positions and in different directions.

[0112] In another optional embodiment, the tensile stiffness of the inner core of the elastic body is set to be segmented heterogeneous, and the inner core of the elastic body is provided with j segments N1, N2, ... Nj along the core axis direction, j ≥ 2; the tensile stiffness of the j segments varies with the location of the segments. So that different tensile mechanical properties can be provided at different locations to adapt to the contours of the human body. For example, for areas where clothing is prone to stretching and deformation when worn, the segments in this area are set with a smaller tensile stiffness, so that it is easy to stretch and deform and easy to recover after deformation; for areas where clothing is not prone to stretch and deformation when worn, the segments in this area are set with a larger tensile stiffness, so that it is not easy to stretch and deform to provide support.

[0113] In another optional embodiment, the inner core of the elastomer is set as an elastic memory body, or the inner core of the elastomer contains several segments of elastic memory bodies, so that the inner core of the elastomer has segmented anisotropic rebound memory characteristics or full-segment rebound memory characteristics. For example, for areas where the soft support is prone to deformation due to wearing and taking off clothes, the inner core of the elastomer is set as an elastic memory body, so that the soft support can be restored after deformation, thereby preventing serious deformation caused by long-term wearing and taking off of clothes, and improving the wearing life and wearing experience of clothes. Exemplarily, the elastic memory body uses elastic memory nylon or elastic memory metal.

[0114] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 6 The coating member in the soft support for clothing provided in the present application includes a first coating layer 120 and a second coating layer 130, and the elastomeric inner core 110 is placed between the first coating layer 120 and the second coating layer 130. Compared with the traditional soft support using the injection molding process, the coating member provided in this embodiment uses an upper and lower coating layer to coat the elastomeric inner core, which is easier to produce using a 3D printing method. The first coating layer, the elastomeric inner core and the second coating layer are all produced using a 3D printing process, and the first coating layer and the second coating layer are printed layer by layer in sequence so that the elastomeric inner core is coated from top to bottom to form a soft support. Exemplarily, the coating layer material can be selected from one or more of rubber, resin, polypropylene, and thermoplastic elastomer. Among them, it is preferred that the first coating layer is a film layer and the second coating layer is a silicone layer. The first coating layer is set as a film layer for easy connection with clothing. It can be directly hot-melted on the surface of clothing, or grooves can be reserved during clothing processing to bury the soft support in the grooves; the second coating layer is set as a silicone layer. On the one hand, silicone has a longer life, and on the other hand, the silicone layer is softer and can play a protective role. Compared with the silicone layer, the inner core of the elastomer is generally harder, which can prevent the inner core of the elastomer from directly contacting the wearer.

[0115] Furthermore, in order to improve the structural stability of the soft support, an adhesive can be set between the film layer and the silicone layer. The adhesive can be added by a coating process or a 3D printing spray process. The adhesive material is preferably a silicone bridging agent, which is used in conjunction with the silicone layer to improve the structural stability of the soft support, prevent separation between layers, and increase service life. Furthermore, a flocking layer can be set outside the silicone layer to enhance the aesthetic effect or user experience.

[0116] It can be understood that the clothing described in this embodiment can be the bra mentioned above, or it can be a T-shirt, vest, pullover, shirt, jacket, sports vest, tights, shorts, sweatpants, yoga pants, leggings or socks and other types of clothing that can add soft support.

[0117] This embodiment does not limit the position where the soft support is added on the clothing. Clothing designers can add soft support at any position of the clothing according to actual needs to achieve effects such as shaping, support, wrinkle prevention, aesthetics, rebound, and increased service life.

[0118] Example 2

[0119] This embodiment provides a bra with soft support, see Figure 7 , the soft support 210 is arranged at the lower edge of the cup of the bra body 220, wherein the soft support comprises: a strip-shaped elastic inner core, a covering member covering the elastic inner core; the bending stiffness of the elastic inner core against bending is set to directional anisotropy, and / or the bending stiffness of the elastic inner core against bending is set to segmented anisotropy, and / or the tensile stiffness of the elastic inner core against stretching is set to segmented anisotropy. The bra with soft support provided in this embodiment can provide different support effects in different directions of the lower edge of the bra by setting the mechanical properties of the elastic inner core to directional anisotropy in bending stiffness; can provide different support effects at different positions of the lower edge of the bra by setting the mechanical properties of the elastic inner core to segmented anisotropy in bending stiffness; can provide different stretching effects at different positions of the lower edge of the bra by setting the mechanical properties of the elastic inner core to segmented anisotropy in tensile stiffness. Furthermore, the bra with soft support provided in this embodiment can provide different memory rebound effects at different positions of the lower edge of the bra by setting the mechanical properties of the inner core of the elastic body to have segmented anisotropy of the rebound memory characteristics.

[0120] In an optional embodiment, the inner core of the elastomer is set as a continuous body, or the inner core of the elastomer is set as a discontinuous body. When the inner core of the elastomer is a continuous body, the directional anisotropy of the mechanical properties can be achieved by changing the cross-sectional shape, and the segmented anisotropy of the mechanical properties can be achieved by changing the material strength, material ratio or cross-sectional size at different positions. When the inner core of the elastomer is a discontinuous body, the mechanical properties naturally have segmented anisotropy.

[0121] In another optional embodiment, the tensile stiffness of the inner core of the elastomer is set to be segmented heterogeneous, and the inner core of the elastomer is provided with j segments N1, N2, ... Nj along the core axis direction, j ≥ 2; the tensile stiffness of the j segments varies with the position of the segments. So that different tensile mechanical properties can be provided at different positions to adapt to the contours of the human body. For example, for a bra, the middle area of ​​the lower edge of the cup is an area that is prone to tensile deformation, and the segments in this area can be set with a smaller tensile stiffness, so that it is easy to be stretched and deformed, and easy to recover after deformation; for a bra, the areas on both sides of the lower edge of the cup are areas that are not easy to be stretched and deformed when worn, and the segments in this area can be set with a larger tensile stiffness, so that it is not easy to be stretched and deformed to provide a shaping support effect on the chest.

[0122] In yet another alternative embodiment, see Figure 8 , Fig. 9 The soft support 210 of the bra is set as one, including: a left cup left lower edge section 211, a left cup middle lower edge section 212, a left cup right lower edge section 213, a middle section 214, a right cup left lower edge section 215, a right cup middle lower edge section 216 and a right cup right lower edge section 217; the left cup left lower edge section, the left cup middle lower edge section, the left cup right lower edge section, the middle section, the right cup left lower edge section, the right cup middle lower edge section and the right cup right lower edge section are all arc-shaped structures that conform to the curve of the human chest; the elastic inner core is set as a discontinuous body, which is discontinuously distributed in the left cup left lower edge section 211, the left cup right lower edge section 213, the middle section 214, the right cup left lower edge section 215, and the right cup right lower edge section 217, and the elastic inner core is set as discontinuous in the left cup middle lower edge section 212 and the right cup middle lower edge section 216. Therefore, the soft support is discontinuous in the elastic inner core of the left cup middle and lower edge sections and the right cup middle and lower edge sections, and has no inner core, but only a softer covering part. The left cup middle and lower edge sections and the right cup middle and lower edge sections are the areas that are prone to stretching and deformation when the bra is worn. The tensile stiffness of this area is smaller and the texture is softer, so it is easy to stretch and deform, which makes it convenient for the wearer to adjust the position of the lower edge of the cup. It is easy to recover after deformation, which can increase the service life; the areas on both sides of the lower edge of the cup are areas that are not easily stretched and deformed when worn. This area has a solid segmentation of the elastic inner core, so that the soft support here has a larger tensile stiffness, making it not easy to stretch and deform, so as to provide shaping support for the breasts from both sides of the cup.

[0123] In another alternative embodiment, see Fig.10The bra has two soft supports, namely a left cup soft support and a right cup soft support; the left cup soft support and the right cup soft support are symmetrical and identical; wherein, the left cup soft support comprises a left lower edge segment of the left cup, a middle lower edge segment of the left cup and a right lower edge segment of the left cup, and the right cup soft support comprises a left lower edge segment of the right cup, a middle lower edge segment of the right cup and a right lower edge segment of the right cup; the elastic inner core of the left cup soft support is set as a discontinuous body, which is discontinuously distributed in the left lower edge segment of the left cup and the right lower edge segment of the left cup, and the elastic inner core of the left cup soft support is set as a discontinuity in the middle lower edge segment of the left cup; the elastic inner core of the right cup soft support is set as a discontinuity body, which is discontinuously distributed in the left lower edge segment of the right cup and the right lower edge segment of the right cup, and the elastic inner core of the right cup soft support is set as a discontinuity in the middle lower edge segment of the right cup. Taking the supporting effect of the left cup soft support as an example, the elastic inner core of the left cup soft support is discontinuous in the middle and lower edge section of the left cup. Therefore, the left cup soft support has no inner core in the middle and lower edge section of the left cup, and only has a softer covering. The middle and lower edge section of the left cup is exactly the area that is prone to stretching and deformation when the bra is worn. The tensile stiffness of this area is smaller and the texture is softer. It is easy to stretch and deform, which makes it convenient for the wearer to adjust the position of the lower edge of the cup. It is easy to recover after deformation, which can increase the service life; the areas on both sides of the lower edge of the left cup are areas that are not prone to stretching and deformation when worn. This area has a solid segmentation of the elastic inner core, so that the soft support here has a larger tensile stiffness, making it not easy to stretch and deform, so as to provide shaping support for the chest from both sides of the left cup; the principle of the right cup soft support is the same.

[0124] In another optional embodiment, the inner core of the elastic body is set as an elastic memory body, or the inner core of the elastic body contains several segments of elastic memory bodies, so that the inner core of the elastic body has segmented anisotropic rebound memory characteristics or full-segment rebound memory characteristics. For example, for areas where the soft support is easily deformed due to wearing and taking off a bra, the inner core of the elastic body is set as an elastic memory body, so that the soft support can be restored after deformation, thereby preventing serious deformation caused by wearing and taking off a bra many times, and improving the wearing life and wearing experience of the clothing. Exemplarily, the elastic memory body uses elastic memory nylon or elastic memory metal.

[0125] In a preferred embodiment, the covering member in the soft support of the bra provided in this embodiment includes a first covering layer and a second covering layer, and the elastomeric inner core is placed between the first covering layer and the second covering layer. Compared with the traditional soft support using the injection molding process, the covering member provided in this application uses an upper and lower covering layer to cover the elastomeric inner core, which is easier to produce using 3D printing. The first covering layer, the elastomeric inner core and the second covering layer are all produced using a 3D printing process, and the first covering layer and the second covering layer are printed layer by layer in sequence so that the elastomeric inner core is covered from top to bottom to form a soft support. Exemplarily, the covering layer material can be selected from one or more of rubber, resin, polypropylene, and thermoplastic elastomer. Among them, it is preferred that the first coating layer is a film layer and the second coating layer is a silicone layer. The first coating layer is set as a film layer for easy connection with clothing. It can be directly hot-melted on the surface of clothing, or grooves can be reserved during clothing processing to bury the soft support in the grooves; the second coating layer is set as a silicone layer. On the one hand, silicone has a longer life, and on the other hand, the silicone layer is softer and can play a protective role. Compared with the silicone layer, the inner core of the elastomer is generally harder, which can prevent the inner core of the elastomer from directly contacting the wearer.

[0126] Further, to improve the structural stability of the soft support, see Fig.11 , a binder 250 can be set between the film layer 230 and the silicone layer 240, and the binder can be added by a coating process or a 3D printing spray process; the binder material is preferably a silicone bridging agent, which is used in conjunction with the silicone layer to improve the structural stability of the soft support, prevent the layers from separating, and increase the service life. Furthermore, a flocking layer 260 can be set outside the silicone layer to enhance the aesthetic effect or use experience.

[0127] In another optional embodiment, the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastomer is set to be directional anisotropic, and the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastomer in direction one is set to be smaller than the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastomer in direction two. Direction one is used to characterize the direction in which the inner core of the elastomer is bent and deformed to fit the body contour of the wearer, so that: in the direction of fitting the body contour of the wearer, the inner core of the elastomer is easier to bend to fit the body contour of the wearer, and in direction two, that is, other directions, the inner core of the elastomer is not easy to bend to provide support. Exemplarily, the cross section of the inner core of the elastomer is set to an anisotropic cross section with a longer side dimension greater than a shorter side dimension, such as a dumbbell, a rectangle, an I-shaped, etc.; the long side direction is parallel to the body contour of the wearer, and the short side direction is perpendicular to the body contour of the wearer. By adopting an anisotropic cross section, the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastomer in the direction of fitting the body contour of the wearer can be made smaller than the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastomer in the direction parallel to the body contour of the wearer.

[0128] In another optional embodiment, a plurality of segments are provided in the inner core of the elastomer as directional anisotropic segments, and the remaining segments are provided as conventional segments, that is, the inner core of the elastomer is divided into a plurality of segments, and at least one directional anisotropic segment is provided in the plurality of segments, thereby, the inner core of the elastomer has both segmental anisotropy and directional anisotropy. The bending stiffness of the directional anisotropic segment in direction one is less than the bending stiffness of the directional anisotropic segment in direction two. Direction one is used to characterize the direction in which the directional anisotropic segment bends and deforms to fit the body contour of the wearer, so that: the directional anisotropic segment is easier to bend in the direction of fitting the body contour of the wearer to fit the body contour of the wearer, and the directional anisotropic segment is not easy to bend in other directions to provide support. In this embodiment, the inner core of the elastomer has both segmental anisotropy and directional anisotropy, which can provide different mechanical properties for different positions of the bra, and can also provide different mechanical properties in different directions, and is more widely applicable.

[0129] In yet another alternative embodiment, see Fig.12 The bra body includes a curved cup area 271 and a flat lower pull area 272. The soft support is set as a spatial folding structure, including an upper fold 281 that fits the cup area and a lower fold 282 that fits the lower pull area. The upper fold 281 of the soft support is fit and fixed to the cup area 271, and the lower fold 282 is fixed to the lower pull area 272. The spatial folding structure of the soft support can provide the bra with stronger supporting mechanical properties.

[0131] This embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a soft support for clothing, by 3D printing a first coating layer, an elastomeric inner core, and a second coating layer, so that the first coating layer and the second coating layer are bonded and coated on the elastomeric inner core to form the soft support; wherein the bending stiffness of the elastomeric inner core against bending is set to directional anisotropy, and / or the bending stiffness of the elastomeric inner core against bending is set to segmented anisotropy, and / or the tensile stiffness of the elastomeric inner core against stretching is set to segmented anisotropy. The elastomeric inner core, as the supporting inner core of the soft support, generally has a stronger supporting capacity than the first coating layer and the second coating layer. Conventional 3D printing materials for the first coating layer and the second coating layer use soft materials such as rubber, resin, polypropylene, and thermoplastic elastomer.

[0132] In an optional embodiment, the inner core of the elastomer is 3D printed as a continuous body, or the inner core of the elastomer is 3D printed as a discontinuous body. When the inner core of the elastomer is a continuous body, the directional anisotropy of the mechanical properties can be achieved by 3D printing different cross-sectional shapes, and the segmented anisotropy of the mechanical properties can be achieved by changing the 3D printing material strength, material ratio or cross-sectional size at different positions. When the inner core of the elastomer is a discontinuous body, the mechanical properties naturally have segmented anisotropy.

[0133] In an optional embodiment, the inner core of the elastomer is 3D printed into an anisotropic cross section with a longer side dimension than a shorter side dimension of the cross section, so that the bending stiffness of the inner core of the elastomer has directional anisotropy, such as dumbbell, rectangular or I-shaped.

[0135] Furthermore, a binder is applied between the first coating layer and the second coating layer by 3D printing or gluing to improve the bonding strength and stability of the first coating layer and the second coating layer. Specifically, the first coating layer is a film layer, the second coating layer is a silicone layer, and the binder is a silicone bridging agent. Furthermore, a flocking layer is provided outside the silicone layer by a flocking process to enhance the aesthetic effect or the use experience.

[0137] This embodiment provides a method for manufacturing clothing, wherein a soft support processing area is provided on the clothing, and a first coating layer, an elastomeric inner core and a second coating layer are 3D printed in the soft support processing area, so that the first coating layer and the second coating layer are bonded and coated on the elastomeric inner core to form a soft support; wherein the bending stiffness of the elastomeric inner core against bending is set to directional anisotropy, and / or the bending stiffness of the elastomeric inner core against bending is set to segmented anisotropy, and / or the tensile stiffness of the elastomeric inner core against stretching is set to segmented anisotropy. The elastomeric inner core, as the supporting inner core of the soft support, generally has a stronger supporting capacity than the first coating layer and the second coating layer. Conventional 3D printing materials for the first coating layer and the second coating layer use soft materials such as rubber, resin, polypropylene, and thermoplastic elastomers. Compared with the coating layer, the supporting inner core is generally harder. In this embodiment, the mechanical properties of the inner core of the elastic body are set to be directional anisotropy of the bending stiffness, so as to provide different support effects for clothes in different directions; or the mechanical properties of the inner core of the elastic body are set to be segmented anisotropy of the bending stiffness, so as to provide different support effects for clothes in different positions; or the mechanical properties of the inner core of the elastic body are set to be segmented anisotropy of the tensile stiffness, so as to provide different stretching effects for clothes in different positions.

[0142] Example 5

[0143] This embodiment provides a soft support for clothing with a layered structure and a bra using such a soft support. The soft support includes a strip-shaped elastic inner core and a covering member covering the elastic inner core, the covering member is a layered structure, including a first covering layer and a second covering layer, the elastic inner core is located between the first covering layer and the second covering layer, and the first covering layer and the second covering layer are bonded to cover the elastic inner core to form the soft support.

[0144] Compared with the traditional soft support using injection molding, the covering provided in this embodiment uses two layers of covering layers to cover the inner core of the elastic body, which is easier to produce using 3D printing. The first covering layer, the inner core of the elastic body and the second covering layer are all produced using 3D printing technology. By printing layer by layer, the first covering layer and the second covering layer cover the inner core of the elastic body from top to bottom to form a soft support. Compared with the covering layer, the inner core of the elastic body is generally harder in texture. The layered covering layer can prevent the inner core of the elastic body from directly contacting the wearer, thus playing a protective role.

[0145] In a further embodiment, the first coating layer is made of a film layer, such as hot melt adhesive: polyamide, polyester, polyethylene and polyesteramide (PEA), which is convenient for connection with clothing and can be directly hot-melt connected to clothing. Of course, the first coating layer can also be made of other materials, such as rubber, resin, polypropylene, thermoplastic elastomer and other soft materials, and the soft support can be buried in the groove by reserving the groove during clothing processing.

[0146] In a further embodiment, the second coating layer can be made of soft materials such as rubber, resin, polypropylene, thermoplastic elastomer, etc., and is preferably set to a silicone layer. Silicone has a longer life and is softer in texture and can play a protective role.

[0147] Furthermore, in order to improve the structural stability of the soft support, an adhesive can be provided between the first coating layer and the second coating layer, and the adhesive can be added by a coating process or a 3D printing spraying process, so as to ensure the stability of the multi-layer structure. When the first coating layer is a film layer and the second coating layer is a silicone layer, the adhesive material is preferably a silicone bridging agent, which is used in combination with the silicone layer, which is more conducive to improving the structural stability of the soft support, preventing the separation between the layers, and improving the service life.

[0148] Furthermore, a flocking layer may be provided outside the second covering layer to enhance the aesthetic effect or the use experience.
