Patent ID: 8328706

Claim:
A system for forming a three-dimensional printed substrate, comprising: a creasing system configured to receive a substrate and apply a plurality of creases to the substrate, the creasing system comprising: a first creasing station comprising one or more non-ablating first creasing members configured to apply at least a first crease to the substrate in a direction parallel to the first axis as the substrate moves along a first axis, and a second creasing station comprising one or more non-ablating second creasing members configured to apply at least a second crease to an interior portion of the substrate in a direction that is not parallel to the first axis; a cutting station comprising a laser scoring system configured to receive the printed and creased substrate from the creasing system and apply a plurality of cuts to the substrate to yield a printed flat that, when folded along the creases, results in a three-dimensional object; and at least one drive system configured to move the substrate through each of the stations.
