A method of manufacturing an article of apparel comprising:
- securing a first component to a support structure coupled to an arm of a first multi-axis robot, the first component forming at least a portion of the article of apparel and having an external surface;
- disposing a second component on a surface of a receiving station, the second component comprising a material that has an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface facing the surface of the receiving station;
- attaching the upper surface of the second component to the external surface of the first component by moving the arm of the multi-axis robot from a first position in which the first component is spaced apart from the second component to a second position in which the external surface of the first component is in contact with the upper surface of the second component;
- and
- moving the first component away from the receiving station with the second component attached to the external surface of the first component.
