    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.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a molding method of molding, using a mold, an uncured composition arranged on a substrate as a film continuously covering a surface of the substrate, including obtaining unevenness information concerning an unevenness of a surface of an uncured first composition arranged as the film on the substrate, arranging a droplet of an uncured second composition on a concave portion of the surface of the first composition based on the unevenness information obtained in the obtaining, and after the arranging the droplet is performed, molding a composition including the film of the first composition and the droplet of the second composition by the mold.
