A method of forming a structural component for a wearable item such as a garment or footwear. The method comprises the steps of extruding strands of liquid polymer onto a support such that successive strands are laid over and across previous strands to form an interconnected network of strands and curing or otherwise allowing the liquid polymer to set and solidify so as to form a solidified network of strands having a two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally shaped structure. The liquid polymer is an elastomeric polymer such that the solidified network of strands exhibits stretch in at least one direction. |
