Manufacturing of an inflatable structure

A method for manufacturing an inflatable product, the method comprising:

• determining one or more contours of the inflatable product to be manufactured;
• providing a single drop stitch fabric having a first layer and a second layer tethered by drop stitches, the single drop stitch fabric having a layer area greater than an area defined by outer contours of the one or more contours of the inflatable product to be manufactured such that all drop stitch fabric of the inflatable product is continuous and included in the single drop stitch fabric;
• placing a respective portion of one or more non-inflatable elements between the first layer and the second layer;
• providing along at least a portion of the single drop stitch fabric one or more fixation lines comprising coupling means fixating the first layer to the second layer and each of the first layer and the second layer to the respective portion of the one or more non-inflatable elements, the one or more fixation lines corresponding to the one or more contours, thereby edges of inner and/or outer perimeters of the inflatable product being formed, a geometry of the inflatable product being thereby defined and fixed by the one or more fixation lines, thus rendering the single drop stitch fabric manageable for further processing;
• and
• coating the single drop stitch fabric with one or more coating layers to cover at least the one or more fixation lines fixating the first layer to the second layer and each of the first layer and the second layer to the respective portion of the one or more non-inflatable elements such that the inflatable product becomes airtight and gas proof during use.
