Abstract
A press pad for a hydraulic single- or multi-stage heating press, the press pad comprising: a support fabric advantageously including metal threads; and an elastomeric material application made from a crosslinked rubber material, characterized in that the elastomeric material application is applied by a 3-D printing method to the support fabric by a printing arrangement, wherein the application is performed as a function of predetermined digitized data of a 3-D topography of the desired elastomeric material application.

A system of a press and a press pad for a hydraulic single- or multi-stage heating press, the press pad comprising:
- a support fabric including metal threads;
- and
- an elastomeric material application made from a crosslinked rubber material,
- wherein the elastomeric material application is applied by 3-D printing to only one side of the support fabric by a 3-D printing arrangement, and
- wherein the elastomeric material application is applied to the support fabric as a function of predetermined digitized data of a 3-D topography of a desired elastomeric material application.
