1. A method of fabricating an anti-fatigue mat comprising:
forming a gel cushioning member exhibiting a predetermined geometry including first and second opposed major surfaces, the gel cushioning member further including first and second opposed major edges, wherein the first opposed major surfaces of the gel cushioning member includes a plurality of alternating ridges and recesses extending at least part of the way between the first and second opposed edges; moving the gel cushioning member to pass by a heat source to selectivity liquefy a portion of the first major surface of the gel cushioning member adjacent the heat source, thus forming a selectivity liquefied portion that becomes larger as a the gel cushioning member moves past the heat source; continuously applying, by a sheet applicator, a first flexible sheet to the selectively liquefied portion of the first major surface of the gel cushioning member as the selectively liquefied portion moves past the heat source such that the first flexible sheet bonds to the gel cushioning member when cooled; and consuming, by the plurality of alternating ridges and recesses, gel wave front produced on the first opposed major surface of the gel cushioning member as the first opposed major surface of the gel cushioning member is selectively reliquefied during the moving and continuously applying steps. |
