-- 3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other additive manufacturing technologies. 3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models that can serve as product prototypes.

-- On financial guru Dave Ramsey’s radio talk show the other night, a caller asked him how to raise the $8,000 that he needs for a mold for his new invention. Dave, being the financial guru that he is, offered the following advice, which you may have heard before and which is excellent …

-- “Since your product will be sold to retailers at $18 per unit, offer it to them at $8 per unit if they buy 1,000 units and pay you upfront.”

-- Pretty smart advice, if you ask me. Plus, there’s another benefit of doing this: It shows you whether or not you can sell the item. If you cannot sell it at a 55% discount ($10 / $18 = 55%), then you cannot sell it, period.

-- If you can’t sell it, then this kind of market research may save you from wasting money on a mold, in addition to other expenses that would come your way.

All about stereolithography and plastic injection molding

By Jack Lander of www.Inventor-mentor.com

When Sara Blakely invented the outrageously successful Spanx®, she started by cutting the lower legs and feet out of her pantyhose. Once she had worked out additional features, she went to a seamstress to create the second proof-of-concept version.

The inventor of De-Fuzz It – a product that has been successfully sold for years – noticed that when he leaned against a brick wall, the fuzz on his sweater came off, leaving his sweater looking like new. He spread glue and sprinkled aluminum oxide crystals on a piece of scrap fabric, and stapled it to a piece of wood. His crude prototype recreated the effect of the brick wall, and the rest is history.

The point is that a first prototype, even though relatively crude, can be very informative. Second generation prototypes get us closer to the goal of the looks-like/works-like (the final product) goal.

Now, let’s move on to a more functional prototype. Most long-lasting products are made from plastic, steel, aluminum, or zinc-alloy. (As we suggested last issue, hire an industrial designer if you are completely baffled by how, and of what material, your eventual product will be made. It’s important that your final prototype closely resemble the product it represents if possible.) Since each of the materials has its own special way of prototyping, we’ll deal with them individually. We’ll start with plastics.

******************************************************************

The vast majority of plastic products are produced by injection molding. An injection molding machine, essentially, is a big squirt gun. Plastic pellets are heated until melted, and the molten plastic is injected into a mold, where it cools and “freezes” back to a solid. When sufficiently cooled, the mold is opened, and the part or parts are ejected. The time required to close the mold, inject the plastic, cool it, open the mold, and eject the part is referred to a “cycle time.”

Molds may have more than one cavity, which is the chamber that forms the part. A four-cavity mold, for example, will make four parts in one cycle.

To faithfully prototype a part that will eventually be injection molded, we can use one of two basic processes: machine the part from solid plastic or “build” the part, layer by layer, with a process that goes by the exotic name of stereolithography, abbreviated “SLA” for some strange reason. Here’s how it works: First, you need a solid-model (also known as a “3-D”) drawing made by CAD (computer aided design). Draftspersons are found under “Draftsmen” in the yellow pages, or on the Internet by entering “CAD draftsman” plus your state.

The objective of your CAD solid model drawing is to obtain a printed drawing and a digital file that can be used to drive the automated SLA machinery. The file can be transmitted via e-mail, or retrieved on a CD, and sent to the SLA service provider found on www.jobshop.com, in your yellow pages, or on the Internet under “Stereolithography,” plus your area.

The SLA vendor will modify your file so that it will “slice” your drawing into hundreds of layers about the thickness of two human hairs. This slicing is strictly digital manipulation, not something you can see, or will reproduce as a drawing.

The SLA machine will be driven by the modified file. The machine consists of a vat of liquid plastic that is hardened by an ultraviolet laser beam, layer by layer until your complete three-dimensional model is constructed. The model, or prototype, will look exactly like your solid model as drawn.

Machining from solid plastic can also be driven by the CAD file using a five-axis milling machine found in many machine shops. The choice between SLA and machining is based mainly on cost. The more complex the part, the more likely you’ll find SLA to be the less expensive of the two options.

The SLA process can produce your parts from several kinds of plastic – some delicate, and some tough. Expect the cost to be around $100 to $200 non-recurring to modify your CAD file, and from $100 to $500 to make the part. If you need to produce a number of parts – let’s say 50 – you should consider making a silicone rubber mold using your first SLA prototype as a “master” pattern. You can then cast a variety of plastics ranging from soft rubber to clear, acrylic-like hard plastic.

A few other processes that are similar to SLA will be found at many SLA vendors. These variations of the SLA theme may be less expensive than SLA, and create acceptable parts. Ask about options.

Until next time . . .

Best wishes, Jack Lander www.Inventor-Mentor.com

Abacus Manufacturing

“You can count on Abacus!”

High Precision Machining of all Materials

Dear Mr. Scheinkman,

My name is Larry Chitur. I have been in the manufacturing industry for over 45 years. In that time, I have earned a journeyman’s card in tool & die making, injection mold design and building and a BSME. Over the years this has been applied to many varied industries including automotive, electronic, microwave communications, pharmaceuticals and nuclear and wind power. I was awarded my first patent in 1968 at 19 years of age. Since then, I have developed many products including the first lottery ticket scraper in California, a thermal transfer plate used in the manufacture of laptop computers and a device that contains no moving parts, draws only 0.5 amps of current and removes over 99% of all pollutants from wood smoke. I have been a senior member in the Society of Manufacturing Engineers since 1985. I have received awards such as commendation from General Electric Nuclear Power Division and a special achievement award from Alza Corporation for my contribution in developing the Transdermal Therapeutic System (TTS patch). This is a technology best known as the ‘smoking patch’ and seasickness patch.

I opened Abacus Manufacturing in 1994 in San Jose California, the heart of Silicon Valley and innovation. In operating this company, I have become very familiar with sourcing for labor, materials and hardware as well as quality procedures needed to successfully manufacture items from prototypes to production. Three years ago, my wife and I packed it all up and moved here to Wilmington North Carolina. I am now in a semi-retirement mode. With the time this affords me, I would like to offer my life’s experience to you and your members.

In my lifetime, I have been extremely effective reducing design to its simplest form possible and in finding the most cost effective methods of manufacture. I do this by using my experience in not only manufacturing processes, but tooling as well. If needed, I can design a tool that can, in many cases, increase hourly yield of production, therefore reduce overall price.

In summary, if an individual (or company) has a product from conceptual state to post patent stage, I can help with design issues and manufacturing from prototypes to full production. In my career, design time was charged at $120.00 per hour and manufacturing time was $80.00 per hour. As I have no proven track record as yet, I will ask only $50.00 per hour for all assistance, both design and manufacturing. Each project will be assessed and quoted individually. If the quote is acceptable, a small retainer will be required. Hours will be billed on a predetermined milestone basis with client approval.

Finally, my wife and I both believe that we must bring back jobs here in America. To this end, our CNC equipment is all made in Los Angeles and we both drive GM products. I will offer a 10% rebate to any client who has their product manufactured in the United States.

Sincerely, Larry Chitur

Not in my right mind would I outrightly tell an Inventor to enter "Cape Fear". - I don't care if there is a Cape Fear as a point of land in North Carolina or anywhere else.

Do you think an Inventor is rational enough to think about your company's location? He wants an assurance. He wants to go to someone he can trust. That TRUST someone should be YOU. Not FEAR YOU.

Larry - Change it to "Cape Promise". Give the person something to look forward to... something promising... a promise of wealth, riches, good fortune and fame, when he is doing business with you.

"WAREHOUSING/DISTRIBUTION

Special to July St. Louis Small Business Monthly

By Michael J. Cook

Every small business venture begins with the hope of the founder that today’s small business will grow into tomorrow’s bigger business. Often, that success happens sooner than the small business owner is prepared to deal with all the issues that inevitably arise – especially the issue of when it is time to outsource.

Outsource what, you say?

Even a sole proprietor probably outsources quite a few things from the start – legal and accounting services, printing and mailing, deliveries, etc. And if you are a manufacturer or if you distribute a product, even more outsourcing needs arise. The questions seem formidable and almost endless:

· Where will I store my inventory?
· How much space do I need (now, and six months or a year from now)?
· When is it time to rent warehouse space (or even buy/build it)?
· Who will take, and process orders for shipping?
· How will I get my product transported to my storage space, and shipped out to customers?
· Do I have to hire additional employees to accomplish all this?
· Will I have to buy equipment to handle large quantities of my product?
· What about security for my storage space?
· What about insurance for my inventory in storage?
· How will I pay for all this? Will I have to raise prices?

And the list goes on.

More and more small businesses, both start-up and well established, are discovering the numerous benefits of using a “3PL” (3rd Party Logistics) provider. Such a company, like Clark Logistic Services, can provide the answer to all the above questions and free up the small business owner’s time and resources to focus on marketing, manufacturing, research and sales, and remove all the worries about buildings and labor costs.

In our industry, we call it “One-Stop Shopping” for the small business owner – total supply chain management, warehousing, transportation, equipment, labor, the latest technology, with Web visibility for inventory accuracy and management, security, value-added services, seasonal overflow requirements – all with one telephone call.

Another way to look at it is to picture 3PL services as a cafeteria. You take only what you want from all the offerings, and you might take different items each time you go through the line. You pay only for what you take.

Perhaps it’s best explained through the example of one of our clients, Steve Leinenbach, president and CEO of a new, St. Louis-based company called Safety By Design. The company manufactures and sells security products for residential and small commercial applications; specifically, a keyless deadbolt lock. People can lock the deadbolt without a key when leaving their home.

Safety By Design developed, and now owns the patent on the product, sold as the Turner Keyless Lock. It is manufactured in China to Safety By Design’s specifications, and under its direct supervision.

Steve markets this product to homeowners, hardware stores, lumber yards, locksmiths, and even direct-to-consumer via television shopping channels. He uses Clark Logistics for virtually all his company’s logistical needs – importing, customs clearance, freight forwarding, warehousing, shipping, order fulfillment – everything from hundreds of containers to a single item shipped directly to a homeowner.

“A new company has to take care of cash flow,” says Steve.. “We outsource a good part of our total operations – information technology services, human resources services, marketing and public relations, and all our logistics from warehousing to order fulfillment.

“When you’re new, and a smaller company, you can look just like your larger competitors, thanks to the Internet. But you have to perform like them, too, and to do that you need lots of support from someone you can trust to do a good job – someone who understands that you’re new and have to try harder; someone who knows how to dot all the “I’s and cross all the “T’s”..

He says, “At this stage of our company’s development and growth, a 3PL makes good sense. I wouldn’t even consider bringing on employees of my own or trying to buy or build warehouse space. A 3PL is ideal for startups and newer companies.”

Flexibility is a key component of effective 3PL service. In a case like Steve’s, he may not know from one month to the next how much warehouse space he will need. With a 3PL like Clark Logistics, he can rent storage space month-to-month in whatever volume he needs. If he only needed to store four or six containers and could stack his product four or six containers high, he needs to rent only enough floor space to hold one container. We price our service on a flat fee for each container brought in, each container brought out, and the amount of floor storage each container takes.

The beauty of the whole system is that while a client is storing product with a 3PL, he receives all the services that go with that warehouse space – security, insurance, labor, equipment, and custom processing and order fulfillment. And, as we mentioned, the customer pays only for the services he uses, and he can change the level of service he needs from month to month.

If a business is seasonal, 3PL warehouse space is the perfect answer for fluctuations in inventory. Even some very large corporations operate this way – renting warehouse space to handle the overflow during seasonal peaks when their own space is insufficient to store the greater inventory. When inventories are down, the larger corporation can simply terminate the month-to-month contract with a 3PL.

Using a 3PL is a flexible, cost-efficient, customer-friendly solution to many of the tough questions a small business owner faces. Why worry about all those issues when, with one phone call, your worries are erased?

-- Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud. This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:
-- What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?
-- Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
-- If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
-- Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
-- And
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
-- But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
-- And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
-- AND, look how far ass kissing will take you:
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
-- So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its theBullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

- You should know that a businessman must look the part of a man of business. He should professionally dress the roll of his business and bear himself proudly, make an impression.
-- Think of it as if you where to wear a uniform: A Doctor wears a white smock and has a stethescope around his neck. A salesman usually carries a briefcase and has pens in his pocket--ready to 'write-up' the sale. The Chef parades his Chef's hat. You recognise the Postman, Fireman, Policeman, Soldier and Sailor, by their uniforms. You respect them. You make way for them by their rank in society, by their visible uniforms. It opens up doors. And isn't that what you want!

-- -- GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR --

-- How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour.

-- We are not sure why it is so effective; just try this method when it rains heavily. This method was told by a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed it. It is useful....even driving at night.

-- Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windshield is still bad......

-- In the event you face such a situation, just try your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle! All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain.

-- Make sure you always have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your car, as you are not only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save your friend's life by giving him this idea..

-- Try it yourself and share it with your friends! Amazing, you still see the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet of rain falling.

-- You can see where the rain bounces off the road. It works to eliminate the "blindness" from passing semi's spraying you too.

-- Or the "kick up" if you are following a semi or car in the rain. They ought to teach that little tip in driver's training. It really does work..

-- This warning is a good one! I wonder how many people know about this~

-- A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago and totaled her car. A resident of Kilgore , Texas she was traveling between Gladewater & Kilgore. It was raining, though not excessively, when her car suddenly began to hydro-plane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!

-- When she explained to the highway patrolman what had happened he told her something that every driver should know - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON . She thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain. But the highway patrolman told her that if the cruise control is on when your car begins to hydro-plane and your tires lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed making you take off like an airplane. She told the patrolman that was exactly what had occurred.

-- The patrolman said this warning should be listed, on the driver's seat sun-visor - NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the pavement is dry.

-- The only person the accident victim found, who knew this (besides the patrolman), was a man who had a similar accident, totaled his car and sustained severe injuries.

-- NOTE: Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to set the cruise control when the windshield wipers are on.

-- If you send this to 15 people and only one of them doesn't know about this, then it was all worth it.. You might have saved a life.
