Model types and description.

Model type Description
Mesh|Net A two-layer structure resembling woven fabric characterized by free-running f-fiber lines without interlacing between f-fibers (layers); instead, f-fibers are thermally bonded at some intersection points.
Wave A single-layer structure utilizing thermal bonding among f-fibers.
Line/Hexagon A two-layer structure wherein thermal bonding occurs both between layers and among second-layer filaments arranged in a hexagonal pattern.
Line/Step A two-layer configuration employing thermal bonding between layers; the zigzag pattern secures free f-fibers of the first layer.
Line/Meander A single-layer structure featuring thermal bonding among f-fibers.
