CURVULATOR(TM) -- CURVED BOXMAKING TEMPLATE
Boxes made with Curvulator Curvulator template

The CURVULATOR (tm) is a set of 12 curved scoring slots molded in one piece of sturdy 1/8" thick clear plastic  ... 7 3/4" x 10 1/2" overall.  Use it for making circular curved scores at 1" intervals from 2" to 13" diameter. Can make the curved scores on boxes like those shown below as well as other decorative shapes. A scoring tool is shipped with every Curvulator. By the way, the scoring tool is useful as a folding bone and the larger end can be used to score corrugated cardboard. COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INCLUDED IN EVERY CURVULATOR SHIPMENT.

NOTE: If you are making boxes with curved elements, the straight scores needed to make boxes should be made on by placing the cardstock against the guide rail on the side of the Boxmaker Originale (tm) platen marked "BOTTOM". The distance from the guide rail on the "BOTTOM" side is essentially equal to the nominal spacing while the spacing on the "TOP" side is somewhat less. 

YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE WORK OF FRANK GEHRY WHO RECENTLY INTRODUCED ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE SCULPTURAL CURVES INTO COMMERCIAL ARCHITECTURE. HIS WONDERFUL "FORM FOLLOWS FANTASY" ARCHITECTURE MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENTS IN HISTORY. HE PROBABLY UNDERSTANDS CURVES BETTER THAN YOU OR I -- BUT YOUR USE OF THE CURVULATOR CAN HELP YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND AND USE THESE SHAPES.

  • BASIC INSTRUCTIONS --
    (1) Put the cardstock to be scored on any relatively soft surface -- (even a few sheets of newspaper will work) and between the surface and the Curvulator.
    (2) Put the Curvulator over the cardstock where you want the curve postioned.
    (3) Simply score the desired diameter curve into the cardstock by using the proper slot as a guide for the scoring tool.
  • Create your own specialty boxes in unusual, interesting shapes.
  • Create your own architectural fantasy models. What a great project for an art or architecture class.
  • Expand your understanding of curved shapes and forms.
  • Make your own one-of-a-kind toys, mobiles and constructions
  • Use the same concepts and techniques as the Boxmaker Originale (tm) and Mini Boxmaker (tm) to make the basic boxes

MAKING BOXES INTO MODEL HOUSES IS EASY

Just glue on two end wall panels and a roof as shown above. You can leave tabs on the walls which you will bend over and which can be glued to the roof

You can draw windows, doors and siding by hand and copy them on to label paper -- cutting them out applying them wherever you like. 

You can, of course, do the drawing on a computer and print out the architectural details with your printer on label paper. This technique make wonderful models to any degree of sophistication.
