Customized wearable with integrated pathways and/or interconnects

An orthopedic precast, comprising:

• a first portion comprising interwoven strands of a first thermoplastic material having a first melting temperature, the interwoven strands of the first thermoplastic material forming a pathway within the first portion;
• and
• an interconnect positioned within the pathway, wherein the interconnect is configured to provide a conduit for a fluid propagating through the first portion, wherein
• responsive to an application of heat of at least the first melting temperature to the first portion, the first thermoplastic material being partially melted, diffuse to encase the interconnect, and, upon subsequent cooling, the first portion transitions from a flexible state to a rigid state.

A method, comprising:

• interweaving strands of a first thermoplastic material having a first melting temperature to form a pathway within a first portion of an orthopedic precast;
• and
• positioning an interconnect within the pathway;
• connecting the interconnect to a power source, wherein the interconnect is configured to receive power and radiate heat based on electrical current flowing through the interconnect;
• partially melting the strands of the first thermoplastic material upon the heat provided by the interconnect reaching or exceed the first melting temperature, wherein the partially melted strands of the first thermoplastic material encapsulating the interconnect;
• and
• cooling the first portion of the orthopedic precast so that the first portion transitions from a flexible state to a rigid state to form an orthosis with a rigid area correspond to at least part of the first portion of the orthopedic precast.
