Tool for Wrapping Paper Manufactured by 3D Printing
First Claim
1. A tool for use with wrapping paper, manufactured by a process comprising the step of:
- causing a 3D printer to make the tool using an instruction file which is accessible to the 3D printer, the instruction file including instructions for a hardware processor which define actions to be taken at and by the 3D printer to manufacture the tool,wherein the tool manufactured in accordance with the instruction file comprises;
a unitary, plastic stick having a length which extends linearly along an axis of elongation, a broad surface, a bracing surface, and first and second sides along the length which meet the bracing surface at respective first and second side edges,wherein the first side extends parallel to the axis of elongation and comprises serrations defined in the plastic stick adjacent the bracing surface,wherein the second side extends parallel to the axis of elongation and opposite to the first side and comprises a non-serrated edge defined in the plastic stick proximate to the bracing surface,wherein the first and second sides are separated by a width in a direction perpendicular to the axis of elongation which is substantially less than the length.

Abstract
A tool for use with wrapping paper is manufactured by a process comprising the step of causing a 3D printer to make the tool using an instruction file which is accessible to the 3D printer. The instruction file includes instructions for a hardware processor which define actions to be taken at and by the 3D printer to manufacture the tool. The tool manufactured in accordance with the instruction file comprises a unitary, plastic stick having a length which extends along an axis of elongation, a broad surface, a bracing surface, and first and second opposing sides extending along the length, separated by a width which is substantially less than the length. The first aide has serrations defined in the plastic stick adjacent the bracing surface. The second side has a non-serrated edge defined in the plastic stick proximate to the bracing surface.
