    Abstract: A device for manufacturing a fiber assembly includes: a rotating body that has a cylindrical shape, and winds and holds a plurality of support sheets around an outer peripheral surface around a rotation axis of the rotating body; a plurality of supply nozzles arranged along a direction parallel to the rotation axis, the supply nozzles supplying a polymer material to be a material of fibers to the plurality of support sheets; a supply nozzle moving unit that relatively moves the plurality of supply nozzles in the direction parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating body, in which the rotating body is rotatable about the rotation axis to wind, on main surfaces of the plurality of support sheets, fibers obtained by naturally cooling or naturally drying the polymer material supplied from the plurality of supply nozzles, and the rotating body includes a plurality of guide members in an annular shape circumscribing the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body concentrically to regulate positions of the plurality of support sheets.

    Abstract: A fiber assembly includes a support sheet, a warp yarn group in which warp yarns including a polymer material are arranged, and a weft yarn group in which weft yarns including a polymer material are arranged. A surface of the support sheet has been subjected to a release treatment. The warp yarn group and the weft yarn group are on the surface of the support sheet. The warp yarn group and the weft yarn group define contact portion regions and non-contact portion regions. In each of the contact portion regions, one of the warp yarns is integrated with one of the weft yarns. Each of the warp yarns and the weft yarns has a line width of 1 μm to 10 μm, inclusive. One of the contact portion regions has a fiber density which is higher than a fiber density of one of the non-contact portion regions.
