Methods for making three-dimensional webs

A method of making a three-dimensional web, comprising:

• providing a collection surface that does not have photocurable resin;
• spinning continuous filaments from a spinneret;
• moving the spun continuous filaments along a travel path having an end;
• rotating the collection surface at or proximate to the end of the travel path, wherein the collection surface comprises cavities and land areas, wherein the land areas are tangentially planar with an outer surface of the collection surface, and wherein the cavities are recessed with respect to the outer surface of the collection surface;
• applying a fluid pressure to the collection surface;
• collecting the filaments on the collection surface to create an intermediate three-dimensional web having first regions formed in the cavities and second regions formed on the land areas, wherein the first regions and second regions differ in at least one intensive property, and wherein values of the intensive property in the first regions and the second regions are both greater than zero;
• and
• bonding the intermediate three-dimensional web using a bonding operation to form a final three-dimensional web.
