Method and apparatus to form grids of open cells from fibers (22), especially wo od fibers and fibers from waste paper and mixed waste materials. The invention utilizes a screen (18) carrying a plurality of elastomeric pads (20) of predetermined sizes arranged thereon in predetermined spaced relation to each other. The fiber is de posited between the pads but not above the pads. The deposited fibers and the pads are compressed normal to the screen, whic caus es the fibers in the spaces between the pads to be consolidated both normal and parallel to the screen, resulting in an open gri d having cells of the shape of the pads. Numerous variations are provided, including several continuous production embodiments. Th e invention uses state of the art technology for virtually all aspects.
