A method of adding a new link element to a mesh including the steps of:
- providing a plurality of formed link elements forming a mesh arranged to provide a split in the mesh;
- and
- adding a new link element to the mesh by molding a single link element through at least two of the formed link elements that provide the split.
A method of adding a new link element to a mesh including the steps of:
- providing a plurality of formed link elements forming a mesh;
- and
- adding a new link element to the mesh by molding a single link element through at least one of the formed link elements, wherein the plurality of formed link elements are arranged such that the new link element is added by molding the single link element at a position in the mesh where a formed link element is not yet provided.
A method of adding a new link element to a mesh including the steps of:
- providing a plurality of formed link elements forming a mesh;
- and
- adding a new link element to the mesh by molding a single link element through at least one of the formed link elements, wherein the new link element is adapted to enable the orientation of the mesh to be controlled.
