Abstract
The embodied system takes any physical solid logo, emblem, or alphanumeric characters, scans it, identify the edges, inset the edges, and laser cuts a double sided adhesive film for the logo geometry. The double sided adhesive film is sandwiched between a top layer and a bottom layer. The adhesive film and bottom layer are cut by a two axis laser to provide a precise fit to the logo, emblem, or alphanumeric character. The clear film is uncut and used for proper handling.
Claims6
A method for creating an adhesive geometry that closely fits inside a logo geometry comprising:
- A) obtaining a cutting file from a central database, said cutting file provides instructions to create said adhesive geometry by a laser cutter,
- B) obtaining an adhesive pad having three film layers comprising:
- a) a top layer, said top layer is clear or opaque,
- b) an adhesive layer that is double sided, and
- c) a bottom layer, said bottom layer is clear or opaque,
- C) removing said top layer from said adhesive pad,
- D) positioning said adhesive pad on a bed of said laser cutter,
- E) operating said laser cutter according to said cutting file to create said adhesive geometry,
- F) repositioning said top layer onto said adhesive pad,
- G) separating said top layer and said adhesive geometry from scrap of said adhesive layer,
- H) whereby said top layer is connected to said adhesive geometry, and said adhesive geometry closely fits within an adhesive side of said logo geometry.
