Abstract: An assembly is provided with a funnel having one or more side walls extending from an entrance to an outlet, and a liner having one or more elastic panels, with the liner extending over an inner surface of the one or more side walls. A system is provided with the assembly, a die, a fluid bath, and at least one hose to direct fluid from the fluid bath onto the liner of the assembly. A method includes covering an inner surface of a funnel with a liner comprising one or more elastic panels, wetting the liner, and forming a stranded mesh material member by extruding material from a die and through the funnel. A stranded mesh material member is provided and formed using the method.

Abstract: A system and method of forming a filament mesh structure. The filament mesh structure is placed in a cavity of a mold assembly. Liquid above a first temperature threshold is added to the cavity, thereby softening the filament mesh structure and conforming a shape of the filament mesh structure to a forming surface of the mold assembly. The filament mesh structure is cooled in the mold assembly to set the shape.
