Problem/Challenge
|
Bridge
Production
|
|
When Goody Products, a division of Newell
Rubbermaid, needed to introduce their new premium line
of quality Hair Brushes in just 6 weeks, they called
on General Patterns Rapid mold-making process
to radically reduce the time and cost to create injection
molds.

Solutions/Results
|
Rapid
Tooling
|
|
Utilizing state-of-the-art Laser Sintered
(L.S.) tooling technology, General Pattern was able
to produce 6 injection molds in less than 4 weeks. With
in-house molding capability to 1000 tons, the need for
10,000 pieces (of each brush style) shipped in just
2 weeks.

|
Benefit/Impact
|
Injection
Moulding
|
|
Using General Patterns Rapid Manufacturing
process, Goody was able to provide Target Stores with
enough product to secure shelf space until their production
tooling came on line. An added bonus for Goody was landing
the Walgreens account. This was a first for Goody,
and would not have happened had early product not been
available.
