A pulp moulding is made by supporting mesh (22) on a shaped support (20) made by or from laminated object manufacture. The support (20) is provided with drainage channels (21) through which water is drawn to deposit pulp (24, 25) on the mesh (22). The mesh may be ordinary wire mesh, or may be made by stereolithography. The support (20) may be made directly by LOM, i.e. it comprises a bonded stack of plastics-coated paper or other layers, which may be formed with drainage apertures, whose contours are defined by a laser. The stack may be impregnated with resin. Alternatively the support (20) may be a casting in plastics or metal taken from the LOM-formed stack. <IMAGE> |
