Scoring and Creasing

Sheet materials may be scored or creased to make folding easier - and more accurate. '''Scoring''' is the process of scribing, or even partly cutting through, the material along the line to be bent or folded.

When working with card, this can be done using a pair of '''[[Scissors|scissors]]''' but thicker sheets may need to be partly cut through with a '''[[Craft Knife|craft knife]]'''.

Always use a Craft Knife together with a [[Safety Ruler]] and [[Cutting Mat]] to protect fingers and table tops.

<span style="color: green">'''Note:'''
Scoring or scribing cuts or scratches the surface of material. This can create a '''[[Stress Concentration|stress concentration]]''' and be a potential failure point. Scribed lines on soft metals such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium Aluminium] should therefore be placed on the inside of a bend where they will be closed up.
