"The Three-Dimensional Form Felting
Machine"
|
 |
The project involves felting wool, using
the wet felting method, which employs the application of hot water or
steam and agitation.
Using the Felting Machine it is possible to obtain a component comprised
solely of 100% wool, no adhesives or binders are needed. It is opening
the field to those applications with stringent requirements, such all
natural, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, environmentally friendly materials.
The felting machine is an innovative solution to the production of
three-dimensional forms. It has the potential to increase the
development and distribution of wool through widespread applications in
domestic, commercial and industrial applications.
