Abstract
The invention aims to improve the manufacture of flexible goods, such as garments, through the temporary modification of the physical properties of the components to be assembled, facilitating their handling and manipulation later on in the manufacturing process. Attributes that can be affected by this process are the stiffness of the material, the presence of mechanical or physical markings, the density of the material, the air or fluid permeability of the material, the responsiveness of the material to magnetic fields, or the adhesive nature of the material.
Claims6
A working material, comprising:
- a textile substrate comprising a seam flange;
- and
- a posing agent in solid form temporarily laminated to the textile substrate, wherein the posing agent is removable by applying one or more solvents and without damage to the textile substrate, wherein the posing agent is thinned along the seam flange of the textile substrate.
