Patent number: 6689035Abstract: A comprehensive model design environment for creating a comprehensive model having a graphical design and a structural design includes at least two design stations and a database. Each design station comprises a graphical. design module for generating signals indicative of the graphical design and a structural design module for generating signals indicative of the structural design. The database receives the graphical design and the structural design signals, and generates in accordance therewith an ordered set of signals corresponding to the graphical design and the structural design. Each of several parties which collaborate in designing a package may access the database, greatly reducing design time.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2000Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: Gerber Scientific Products, Inc.Inventor: David J.

Patent number: 6645602Abstract: A method and work material for making embossed blanks for sample packages and other free-standing three dimensional display items from a sheet-type work material includes a printer for printing a graphic image on the work material, and a processing mechanism for performing work operations on the work material. The sheet-type work material has a top layer of sheet material, an intermediate layer of sheet material, and a carrier layer of sheet material, with a first layer of adhesive material bonding the top and intermediate layers of sheet material together, and a second layer of adhesive material bonding the intermediate and carrier layers of sheet material together. Any, all, or a combination of the top, intermediate, or carrier layers of sheet material may have shape retaining deformability characteristics to aid in holding an embossed design in the work material.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2001Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Gerber Scientific Products, Inc.Inventor: David J.

Patent number: 6506324Abstract: A method for making embossed blanks for sample packages and other free-standing three dimensional display items from a sheet-type work material. The sheet-type work material has a top layer of sheet material, an intermediate layer of sheet material, and a carrier layer of sheet material. In operation, a printer prints an image onto the work material, which is then advanced to a processing mechanism where a creaser places indented fold lines into the work material, a knife cuts a blank from the work material, and an embosser embosses a design into the work material.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2000Date of Patent: January 14, 2003Assignee: Gerber Scientific Products, Inc.Inventor: David J.

Patent number: 6002416Abstract: A process for color overprinting onto a thermally printable receiving surface includes using a thermal printer and transfer foils to print a first layer of color printing medium onto a portion of a receiving surface, and then using the thermal printer to print at least a second layer of translucent colored printing medium onto the receiving surface on top of the first layer. An index of overprint colors can be created by the process for use in matching colors printable by the overprinting process to the colors on an original graphic. The index may be used manually or in a computerized printing process to determine the number of transfer foils required to reproduce an original graphic, and their order of use.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1996Date of Patent: December 14, 1999Assignee: Gerber Scientific Products, Inc.Inventor: David J.
