Abstract
A method of manufacturing a product, dispenses, through a tool with an aperture sized to match an overall perimeter of a product, a molten thermoplastic resin. The tool generates a plurality of strands through the tool aperture while maintaining the plurality of strands within the overall perimeter of the product. The strands are buckled by resisting a flow of the plurality of strands. The buckled strands intersect as a unitary non-woven body in a shape of the overall perimeter of the product.
