      <p class="para_topic">This function creates the binder ring, that portion of the binder wrap that is actually clamped during forming. The binder ring usually extends from the end of the addendum to the edge of the blank.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">A binder ring sheet may be created even when an addendum does not exist. In this case the outer boundary of the DIE_OUTPUT feature is projected normally to the binder wrap surface. The projected curve forms the inner trimming curve of the binder ring. The output of this function includes a DIE_BINDER_RING feature, as well as an enhanced DIE_OUTPUT feature, which now includes the binder ring sewn onto the end.</p>

At this stage of die engineering, the DIE_OUTPUT feature is expected to represent the product surface, filled areas, and optionally the addenda surfaces. If addenda surfaces exist, they are expected to be tangent to the binder wrap sheet along the entire length of the die addendum tangency curve. The outer boundary curve of the die output sheet constitutes the inner trimming boundary for the binder ring. This should form a closed curve when projected normally onto the binder wrap.</p>
