mold making manufacturer
YTC mold making manufacturer pinpointed potential problems with the initial prototype and came up with ideas to remedy the glitches. They then made a rough drawing and used equipment he had in his garage to machine rough parts out of plastic. YTC mold making manufacturer used that prototype to test their concept before they began making "looks like, works like" parts.
Everyone was satisfied and was comfortable with the design and ready to make a better prototype to show to local stores. If the response was positive, YTC mold making manufacturer would then do a small production run.
They thought machining the parts would be inefficient for a small production run, so the partners sought a way to make an inexpensive temporary mold.
Unsure of exactly how to do it, YTC mold making manufacturer attended a meeting of a local inventors’ club to see whether anyone there could suggest a low-cost solution to their production problem. A silicone-mold-making expert. "Silicone molding is a simple technique [that's been] used by model-makers for years. "It can be easily done at home and doesn't require any special equipment or furnaces."
YTC offered to help them make a temporary mold that could be used for a small run on an injection-molding machine.
YTC mold making manufacturer was able to create the temporary mold in his shop, providing Robertson and Dudley with enough parts to sell their product, dubbed the Spin Clean, to six or seven local pool-supply stores. The mold they made "ended up costing about $1,000 vs. the cost of up to $20,000 that most mold making manufacturer would have charged."
