NL1026988C2 - Making greeting cards with 3D scenes, by sticking cut out pieces onto backing provided with outlines of overlapping pieces in finished scene - Google Patents

Abstract

Loose pieces (B) are cut from a sheet and stuck onto a backing (A) using e.g. adhesive or foam tape, the backing having the same shape as the intended finished scene and being provided with the outlines of the overlapping pieces in this scene. The piece shown at the back is stuck on first and the piece shown at the front is stuck on last.

DESCRIPTION

3D CUTTING TECHNIQUE

5

A 3D cutting technique to build up an illustration in three dimensions, where the parts that make up the illustration and that need to be cut out are shown in their entirety, not cut, loose and free-standing.

10 Making greeting cards is a hobby of many people. There are many different techniques for making your own greeting cards, 3D cutting is one of them. 3D cutting means cutting out paper or cardboard or similar material and building an illustration in three dimensions. The two or more cut-out layers are superimposed on each other using pieces of foam-tape or 3D-kit There are so-called 3D-cutting sheets on the market, on which illustrations are shown, which have been specially drawn for 3D-cutting.

So far, the 3D cutting technique is as follows:

The illustration serves as a first layer (the substrate) in its entirety. The same illustration serves as a second layer, in which one or more parts that are in the background of the representation are omitted. The third layer serves as the illustration for the second layer, with one or more components on the background of the representation omitted. All subsequent layers, if any, consist of the illustration of the last layer, with one or more components on the background of the representation omitted. The different layers from which the 3D image is composed can either cut out plates from two or more cutting sheets of the same kind, whereby one can determine for themselves which parts that are on the background of the representations of the different layers want to be omitted, or are cut out of a single sheet, on which the various layers are all depicted, a so-called step sheet.

3D clippings constructed in this way can consist of as many as five or more layers of paper with 3D kit or foam tape in between.

This invention relates to the following 3D cutting technique.

The illustration as a whole serves as a background (A). The parts that make up this illustration are printed separately, free-standing and printed in their entirety (B). M.a.w. the illustration is, as it were, “pulled apart” so that the individual parts that make up the illustration and 1026988-2, some of which cannot be seen in their entirety, because they are overlapped by other parts, are printed in their entirety . These individual parts are cut out and glued to the substrate one by one by using. 3D kit or pieces of foam tape. With this sticking on one starts with a part that starts in the background, followed by parts that are in front of or next to it and finally those parts that are in the foreground are glued on. Some parts overlap each other and each part is glued to the surface only once, in contrast to 3D cutting with the existing technology, where, depending on the number of layers, parts that are in the foreground are two or three times or stuck together more often.

10 For illustrations that consist of so many individual parts that sticking them in the correct order can be problematic, the individual parts are provided with a number and / or letter. In this case, a reduced representation of the entire image can be printed on the sheet, in which the correct sequence of sticking on the parts is indicated by using. corresponding numbers and / or letters.

15 For illustrations that are made up of fewer parts and the order of sticking on can clearly be seen from the illustration as a whole, which serves as a base, the order of sticking on the individual parts is not indicated.

Wherever printing is mentioned, any other method of reproduction is also meant.
