Abstract
The present invention in one or more embodiments provides a method of forming an opening on a panel, the method including pressing in a first direction on the panel to form a protrusion with a tip portion, and cutting the protrusion with a force in a second direction to remove the tip portion to form the opening on the panel, the second direction being different from the first direction. The first direction may be a direction of gravity plus and minus up to 15 degrees. The second direction may be transverse to the first direction with an angle differential there-between of 75 to 105 degrees.
