Abstract
A machine and method of forming a protruded material from a generally flat substrate is disclosed. The method includes inserting one or more pieces of flat material into a machine; cutting the flat material using a cutting die comprising one or more cutting blades; and pressing together cut pieces of the flat material using a press die to form protrusions, wherein the one or more cutting blades are disengaged from the flat material periodically and the cutting die is repositioned to a starting position that maintains a set distance from the press die.
