Patent ID: 6908583

Claim:
A system for bending a substantially rigid substrate, the substantially rigid substrate having a first portion and a second portion interconnected by a bend region, the system comprising: a rigidizer with first and second portions and with an attached sidewall rigidizer, the first and second portions of the substrate being attached to the respective first and second rigidizer portions, a first heated die member having a longitudinal body portion and an outer edge portion, the outer edge portion extending along the longitudinal body portion and being substantially rounded, the first heated die member configured to contact a first side of the bend region of the substrate; and a second heated die member having a longitudinal body portion and a groove, the groove extending along the longitudinal body portion, the second heated die member configured to contact a second side of the bend region of the substrate; wherein the first heated die member and the second heated die member are capable of folding the first portion of the substrate relative to the second portion of the substrate to form at least one bend in the bend region when the outer edge portion of the first heated die member slides into the groove of the second heated die member.
