Every month MMT publishes case studies both in print and online. As the author of many of these case studies, I am constantly fascinated at the success stories mold manufacturers share about the challenges they face, a new product or technology they discover to address a specific issue or challenge, and the myriad of benefits they realize once the solution is applied—whether it be leadtime reduction, money saved or quality improvements. It is an added bonus for me when an unusual application is highlighted. Case in point: Damon Weaver, president of Xcentric Mold & Design—a low-volume, short-run, complex custom mold specialist—used KeyCreator from Kubotek USA to produce a fishing rod holder efficiently. Read here about how Damon did it, and send me your unusual application stories!
