The present disclosure is a cutter assembly, which mainly includes a carrier and a plurality of cutters, wherein the cutters are disposed on the carrier. Each of the cutters includes a blade and a cutter seat. The cutter seat has at least one upper-adjusting hole and at least one lower-adjusting hole, wherein the upper-offset hole is formed with a diameter greater than that of the lower-adjusting hole, and the upper-adjusting hole and the lower-adjusting hole form a countersink surface therebetween. At least one first fastener passes through the upper-adjusting hole and the lower-adjusting hole and engages with the carrier. The first fastener has a top portion formed with a diameter greater than the lower-adjusting hole and less than the upper-adjusting hole, the top portion of the first portion does not press against the countersink surface between the upper-adjusting hole and the lower-adjusting hole.

A method for converting a flat substrate (W) in a station (3) for converting a flat substrate (W) that includes a rotary cutting unit (9) and at least one rotary deformation unit (7, 8) positioned upstream of the rotary cutting unit (9) in the direction of movement (L) of the flat substrate (W), the method including: determining the conversion parameters of the flat substrate (W), such as the deformation layout and cutting layout; choosing a sleeve (13) carrying a form for carrying out the deformation depending on the deformation layout; mounting the sleeve (13) on a mandrel (12) in the rotary deformation unit (7, 8); choosing the cutting tools (91, 92) depending on the cutting layout; mounting the cutting tools (91, 92) in the rotary cutting unit (9); and starting the conversion of the flat substrate (W).

An expandable package filler or ornament includes a stack of sheets, such as tissue paper, foil, etc. The stack is bound together, such as by a fastener. A generally spiral cut extends from a peripheral edge of the stack toward the center of the each sheet. The cut forms each sheet into a generally spiral strip ending in a peninsula portion. Grasping the peninsula portion, lifting and shaking the stack causes the strips to fall and entangle with each other. The resulting structure is decorative and may be used to stuff a gift box, bag or basket.

Disclosed is a press-molding apparatus for a cosmetic patch, suitable for use in cutting a piece of patch fabric to a predetermined shape while being pressed using a press, including: a planar pressing plate, which forms a pressing portion of the press; at least one cutter, which is fixedly secured to the lower surface of the pressing plate and protrudes therefrom so as to cut the piece of patch fabric through pressing of the press, and is formed in a cylindrical shape so that a plurality of stacked pieces of patch fabric is simultaneously cut and the cut pieces of patch fabric are received in the space inside the cutter; and an ejector, which separates the pieces of patch fabric received in the cutter from the cutter.

A punch press quick tool change system comprising a reciprocally movable upper support member arranged on a punch press frame. The system also includes a lower support member arranged on the punch press frame. A pair of tool gripping members are arranged on the upper support member and also on the lower support member. The tool gripping members comprises a 1.sup.st pair of spaced-apart parallel keeper positioners secured to the upper support member for securing the tool gripping arrangement plate adjustably against the upper support member. A 2.sup.nd pair of parallel keeper positioners are secured to the lower support member for securing a 2.sup.nd tool gripping plate adjustably against the lower support member.

A system for forming a metal strip into a die having a predetermined shape through a series of forming operations is described herein. The system includes a base configured to support the metal strip as the metal strip undergoes the series of forming operations; a feeding device configured to advance the metal strip between each forming operation of the series of forming operations and grip the metal strip during each forming operation; a bending device configured to bend a portion of the metal strip extending from the feeding device as one of the series of forming operations; a forming head configured to house a pair of forming tools and provide features to the portion of the metal strip extending from the feeding device as one of the series of forming operations using the one or more forming tools; a robotic arm configured to selectively provide the one or more forming tools to the forming head; and a computing unit in communication with the robotic arm and configured to transmit a control signal to cause the robotic arm to retrieve the pair of forming tools and provide the pair of forming tools to the forming head.

A cutting and/or creasing rule is produced on a 3D printing machine which may be mounted on a board for use is a die for cutting and/or creasing a sheet of paperboard or other material into a blank for a carton. With the advent of additive manufacturing, i.e. 3D printing, it is now possible to eliminate traditional slotted die boards with generally rectangular steel cutting and creasing rules and replace same with surface printed boards with three-dimensional creasing and cutting rules.
