In October 2026 P&G patented customizable forming components for manufacturing absorbent and other fibrous materials in high-throughput production settings.
Abstract
A method of making deflection members is disclosed. The deflection members may be 3D objects that may include cross-linkable polymers and may be printed directly onto permeable materials utilizing at least two different printer settings.
