Abstract
A method for generating a pattern of indentations in a surface of a thermoplastic textile includes processing the thermoplastic textile with a mold comprising at least one subunit adapted to create at least one subpattern of the pattern, wherein the at least one subunit is at least one of exchangeable or reconfigurable; fusing at least one indentation of the pattern of indentations into the thermoplastic textile by applying heat and pressure; and exchanging the at least one subunit with a second at least one subunit or reconfiguring a spatial arrangement of a footprint of the at least one subunit within the mold from a first spatial arrangement to a second spatial arrangement, wherein a footprint of the at least one subunit is different than a footprint of the second at least one subunit.
