MADE IN THE U.SA. 

In Summer of 2007, Toth Mold/Die Inc. was presented with a concept to design and build a mold for a multi-purpose cleaning tool.  Upon review, Toth Mold/Die Inc.’s experience in development led them to recommend a SLA model be created to test functionality and comfort of the handle.  This model could also be used for market research to see if there would be interest in the product.

This was a wise choice since once the SLA was completed and an actual part was created, dimension changes to the tool were found to be necessary. If these changes were to be made when the actual mold was being built, they would have been quite costly. In addition, Toth Mold/Die Inc. knew that in this particular case, creation of a SLA model would be a fraction of the cost of producing a prototype and strongly suggested this to the customer. 

The SLA model was completed and the inventor went on to complete her market study.   She received a positive response and in mid November, 2007 gave approval to Toth Mold/Die Inc. to begin the mold build.  The entire process from concept, testing, market study, mold build, to retail/wholesale market was only six months.

In January, 2008 the SO-E-Z was born.  No more struggling with cleaning the inside of your windshield.   All you do is fold a paper towel over a removable pad, reattach, spray your window with cleaner and wipe away.  Easy cleaning and no streaks!  It is SO-E-Z!

This multi-purpose tool can also be used for a number of chores such as cleaning your dashboard, windows at home, mirrors, stainless steel appliances, dusting furniture, or attach sand paper and use as a sander.

Visit the SO-E-Z booth at the annual Cleveland Home and Garden Show located at the IX Center Booth #732 February 2 – 10, 2008 and also at the Cleveland Sport Show located at the IX Center Booth #1270 March 12 – 16, 2008.   Check out the SO-E-Z website listed below for more information.

“THE CLIC-STIC” 
UNIVERSAL CAMERA HANDLE

Toth Mold/Die, Inc. has recently completed another outstanding project from concept to the finished product. “The Clic-Stic” invented by Floyd Rietveld from Dayton, Ohio approached Toth Mold/Die, Inc. with a great yet simple product, a universal camera handle. Today’s technology has allowed digital cameras and camcorders to be made very compact, therefore, making them extremely hard to hold still to focus. “The Clic-Stic” easily screws into the standard tripod socket located on the bottom of any camera or camcorder which allows for the device to be held more comfortably and steadily.

Upon initial review of the product concept, hands-on owners Tim and Tom Toth of Toth Mold/Die, Inc. had concerns regarding casting the threads in plastic. Their first thought was to overmold a brass insert, however, the cost of the insert and molding were not within the price range of this product. The 25+ years experience that Toth Mold/Die, Inc. has in molding, material application, and mold making led them to suggest to Mr. Rietveld to try a material that would be strong enough and still have a cosmetic appeal. The material they suggested was EMS Grivory GV-5H which is a 50% glass-filled polymer.

Mr. Rietveld agreed and Toth Mold/Die, Inc. went on to build a one cavity prototype and produced parts to test. Upon completion of testing, approval was given and production tooling was created. Toth Mold/Die, Inc. then designed and built a four cavity mold which runs automatically. The mold opens and degates before the parts are ejected. After degating occurs, the four handles and four plugs are ejected. The handle itself has no ejector pin marks anywhere on the part. Since the part is so thick (1” diameter), Toth Mold/Die, Inc. cored out the handle and made a plug that is put in permanently which makes the handle look like one solid piece. Toth Mold/Die, Inc. is currently running production. Mr. Rietveld is expecting high volume orders. Below is the contact info on “The Clic-Stic”.

Toth Mold/Die, Inc. prides itself on experience, quality, price and confidentiality. Those are the reasons this product is proudly “MADE IN THE U.S.A.”

You probably didn’t realize how easy it is to take a concept and create a finished product. Toth Mold/Die, Inc. located in Bedford, Ohio is an injection molding/manufacturer that has the knowledge, experience, and ability to provide full-service product development in just 7 easy steps.

STEP 1: The first step simply begins with a concept brought to Toth Mold/Die, Inc. as a thought, a drawing on scratch paper, a model, a sketch or print. 

STEP 2: Second, we then create the design elements of your concept on a CAD model. At the same time, we advise you on choosing a polymer type for proper fit of the application as well as color availability. If necessary, a SLA Model is created to allow for a physical piece to handle and operate. 

STEP 3: A quote for the mold design, build, and part price is then determined. The design of the tooling will provide a recommendation on the number of cavities required for part production cost effectiveness. The construction of the mold will vary due to part intricacy. The mold build will include samples and the finished part. The part price will be determined based on the number of cavities in the mold, material used and production cycle time. 

STEP 4: Upon client approval, the mold build begins and will take approximately 4– 14 weeks depending on the complexity of the design. 

STEP 5: Upon completion of the mold, test parts are then produced to check the operation and durability. Any adjustments necessary to the mold are made at this time. 

STEP 6: Production is run. No minimum quantity is required.

STEP 7: Secondary operations (i.e. assembly, packaging etc.) are completed. The end result is a finished product. 

It’s that simple! Toth Mold/Die, Inc. has the experience and expertise to provide the quality services required to bring a dream to reality.

BRAND NAME: None
MAKER: Toth Mold/Die, Inc.
WEBSITE: www.tothmold.net
WHERE IT’S MADE: Bedford

HOW IT’S MADE: Injection molding is a manufacturing technique for creating various parts from thermoplastic polymer. Once a design is complete, a mold maker builds a mold from tool steel or aluminum to form the precise features of the desired part.

During the injection phase, polymer in the form of pellets is loaded into a hopper on top of the molding machine. The extreme pressure and friction generated by a reciprocating screw along with heaters in the barrel produce the heat to melt the pellets.

The two halves of the mold close and are clamped together. Next the melted polymer is forced under extreme pressure into the mold cavity. It is then allowed to cool and solidify into the shape of the mold creating the newly designed part.

The clamping unit opens which separates the two halves of the mold and an ejecting rod and plate expel the finished part from the mold. The process then repeats at cycles of 20 – 90 seconds on average.

HOW IT’S USED: Injection molded parts are light weight and cost-effective to mass produce. It is the most common method of part production used today. Various parts from the smallest component to huge automotive parts are created using this process.

BACKGROUND: Toth Mold Die, Inc. has been in business for over 30 years and is owned and operated by hands-on brothers Tim and Tom Toth. It is a small shop that specializes in custom injection molding and injection mold building for both small and large companies as well as entrepreneurs. Services range from complete product design to final part production as well as building, sampling and debugging molds for other molding companies.
