ABSTRACT:
A method for shaping a slab of compressible or cellular polymer material, such as polyurethane foam, by cutting portions of the material from one surface uses a compression roller, a support surface, a blade and a moving patterned platform interposed between the compression roller and the support surface. The moving patterned platform, preferably an endless belt or a series of interconnected panels, defines at least one recess, and may define a pattern of recesses of complex or simple shapes and at various depths. When the slab of cellular polymer material is compressed between the compression roller and the support surface, a portion of the material fills the recess or recesses in the moving patterned belt. At least a portion of the compressed material within the recesses is then cut from the surface of the slab by the blade just as the slab emerges from between the compression roller and the support surface. The cut portions then are removed leaving a profile-cut surface with cut-out portions corresponding in pattern and shape to the recesses provided on the moving patterned platform. Depending upon the compression factor of the material, the cut-out portions will substantially correspond in depth to the recesses provided on the moving patterned platform.
