Lamination
Multilayer technical lamination for orthopaedic products
What it is
Lamination is a multilayer bonding process that combines textiles, foams, membranes and other technical materials to create functional, stable and durable structures, while maintaining elasticity, comfort and strength throughout the service life of the orthopaedic product.
By selecting the most suitable materials and lamination system, different properties can be integrated into a single structure, optimising mechanical performance, breathability, handle and dimensional stability. The result is lighter, more homogeneous components designed to meet the requirements of each application.
Lamination also makes it possible to reduce the number of components, minimise subsequent manufacturing operations and improve process repeatability, facilitating the industrial production of orthopaedic products with enhanced technical performance and consistent quality.
The key to lamination is not simply joining materials, but designing multilayer structures capable of delivering exactly the performance required for each orthopaedic application.
