Abstract
A method and system for forming domes or protruded structures in a flat material such as paper is disclosed. The method includes cutting one or more sheets; applying an adhesive between the one or more sheets, joining the one or more sheets together in a registered manner to form a substrate, and pressing the adhesive under pressure to shape the substrate into a desired shape may include the domes or protruded structures.
Claims19
A method for forming domes or protruded structures in a flat material such as paper comprising:
- cutting one or more sheets;
- applying an adhesive between the one or more sheets;
- joining the one or more sheets together in a registered manner to form a substrate;
- and
- pressing the adhesive under pressure to shape the substrate into a desired shape comprising the domes or protruded structures,
- wherein the pressing is performed after a duration greater than a curing time in ambient conditions of the adhesive has elapsed since the applying of the adhesive.

- applying an adhesive between the one or more sheets;
- joining the one or more sheets together in a registered manner to form a substrate;
- pressing the adhesive under pressure to shape the substrate into a desired shape comprising the domes or protruded structures;
- and
- encapsulating the one or more sheets in a container to prevent curing of the adhesive, wherein the pressing is performed remote from the encapsulating.
