<p>A three-dimensional cloth material having a superior touch and durability and a method of manufacturing a three-dimensional material which has a low production cost and a high productivity. A cloth layer (85) having a print pattern, a foamed body (87) and a fiber material (88), of which one surface is subjected to laminating of a plastic film, are placed and positioned on an elastic sheet (86). The cloth layer (85), foamed body (87), fiber material (88) and the elastic sheet (86) are integrally subjected to pressurized compression for a predetermined period of time by upper and lower dies (80, 82) while the foamed body (87) remains in visco-elastically flowing state. As a result, the foamed body (87) is secured to a back surface of the cloth layer (85) to be three-dimensionally formed in registry with a profile of the print pattern to support the three-dimensional pattern of the cloth layer (85). The plastic film of the fiber material (88) is secured at its entire surface to the foamed body (87), and only a peripheral portion of the fiber material (88) is fused to the back surface of the cloth layer by subsequent heating. As a result, the foamed body (87) is completely between the cloth and the fiber material.</p> |
