3D Topsheet: concept & prototype

Process concept

3D topsheet is a product feature, mainly developed in Asia, which involves the use of a topsheet with many protuberances (like bubbles) made in an organized way according to a particular design3D.

This feature has the effect to:

Increase material softness by increasing material volume

Give an esthetic feeling and value perception improvement to the final consumer

From a market analysis it is possible to have a 3D topsheet single layer or double layer. After many brainstorming, design review, handmade prototype creation and patent analysis, FAMECCANICA define the best process and patter design. Preliminary results are positive, process validation is ongoing.

Pattern design and prototype

Fameccanica dedicated a complete Test stand to the in line creation of Tri-dimensional materials. Both single layer and double layer product versions have been tested The process has been proven up to 450 m/min and validation is still on going.
